Troy was a pony given to Laura Palmer for her birthday by Ben Horne. She
loved the pony but eventually set it loose when she decided she was a truly
terrible person. I think the pony was eventually found dead or injured and had
to be destroyed. Laura believed Troy was a present from Leland when she first
got him but later discovered he came from Ben. Troy seems to be some kind of
symbol of her transition from cute little girl with the traditional pony and
sweet life to the very different character who was revealed after her death.
Troys death in a way symbolises the death of the purer aspect of laura's
personality. Its all in the secret diary. 
Sorry about the philosophising.
