Update your destroy line in index.html.erb:

<%= link_to 'Destroy', pony, method: :delete, data: { confirm:
'Are you sure?' }, :remote => true, :class => 'delete_pony' %>

Create a file, destroy.js.erb, put it next to your other .erb files (under app/views/ponies). It should look like this:

$('.delete_pony').bind('ajax:success', function() {     
  $(this).closest('tr').fadeOut();
});

Add format.js { render :layout => false } to your controller:

respond_to do |format|
 format.html { redirect_to ponies_url }
 format.json { head :no_content }
 format.js   { render :layout => false }
end

Hope this helps someone else.
