In your position, I would definitely be trying to figure out a way to avoid spending so much on people I don't like.
The idea of renting the pony for the kids to take turns on is good, and if adults want to ride, let them pay their own way. Most of the kids' parties I go to, the parents cover the cost of the children only; it's common and perfectly acceptable. You could add something to the invite about pony rides for kids and fun games for all. I really doubt adults would expect you to cover the cost of them riding a horse for your daughter's fifth birthday.
