One's legs. To take shanks's pony = to walk. E.g. "You're an hour late, what took you so long?" "Bus didn't show up did it, so I took shanks's pony."

Also used in Richard Thompson's terrific song "Walking the Long Miles Home":
Got the moon there for company each step of the way
And the rhythm in my shoes keep the blues all away
When you ride Shanks's Pony you don't have to pay
Walking the long miles home
