Background Pony #7734
I’m using Krita. I would like to get into drawing ponies but I don’t know where to start.
 
Any training activities? Or instruction guides?

Derpibooru seems to have some interesting resources (simply use “tutorial” tag), that and doing your own experiments may be a good starting point

I second colored pencils! x)
 
Even without color it can’t hurt to have a small sketchpad around to start practicing lines in regular pencil! Also a bit easier to start with learning the basics of shading if that’s your thing, but everyone is different and you do what works for you!
 
I suggest you use references and try to copy them visually until they look right. It really helps you understand where the lines go and how things bend and stretch. This especially helps with understanding how to draw expressions. Know the rules so you can know how and when to break them!
