It sounds like you have decided to try toothpaste first. For posterity, I just wanted to throw in that I have used the RIT rust remover. It does take the rust out very well, even from light colored hair. However, it is very drying and can make the hair frizzy.

I had to gracelessly bang it apart with a nail and a hammer, which was not the best way to keep the hair neatly together.
...Also...I would try and rescue the washer you threw away if you were going to sell the pony on, a new owner may hope to have that included.

There are people who like to keep rusty old washers? I plan to replace all the washers/clamps on my ponies with zip ties as well, but ponies I sell or trade I don't touch - I figure the new owner can fix them up how they like. It makes more sense to me, though, to replace metal with plastic where you can, to avoid the potential for rust development later on.

I think what Cat is meaning is that some like to keep everything original on / in the pony. If washer is rusty then they can try to save it and put it back in pony.
