FAQ
The short answer is grass.

The problem today is that farming means a pony can no longer roam wild, and thus its grazing is restricted.

If you have a newer home and look at this area on your siding, it will look thin, and probably have some mildew growth. The odds are very good that your home was sprayed when it was built.
