You shouldn't take the weight off your belt for the pony. In an emergency and the pony is donated, your going up and probably fast. If the pony is being donated then that means that your buddy needs you with him and not at the surface in worse condition than him.
Or lets put it another way for those that don't think they will ever donate their pony. On a dive your pony gets tangled in (fill in the blank). The only way out of it is to remove the pony. So your buddy takes the pony from you and you go bye, bye.
When diving a pony switch a few lbs to the other side if needed. Don't take the weight off.
