When height goes double, you get eight times the weight, not three time, since it’s eight times the volume.
If a creature is X times taller, the weight increases by X³ times.

There’s nothing to be sorry for, really. People get that kind of thing wrong all the time.
As for weight, it all depends on how your view on the weight of normal ponies is.
First thing you need to do is to find out how many times bigger the large pony is than a normal pony.
Taking the height values you gave, you’d need to divide the big mare’s height of 79’3” (79.25 feet) by the average mare’s 3’8” (3.66 feet).
79.25 ÷ 3.66 = 21.6
Now you need to cube that number to get the multiplier for weight and volume. 21.6³ is about 10,000, so this mare should be in the ballpark of 10,000 times as heavy as you’d consider a good weight for a normal mare.
So if an average mare weighed as much as a 50 kg/110 lbs (estimating from the weight of a dog of such size), you’d have a mare that weighs 500 tons or 1,100,000 lbs. And since she’s a soldier pony, I’d assume she’s above average in weight. (Don’t tell her I said that, though ;) )
