Pony Primer
- Horse Talk -- I Want A Pony
- Besides wanting your child to be truly ready for this type of responsibility, it's important to first ask yourself are YOU ready for your child to have a pony. Realistically much of the responsibility and work will fall upon you, unless you're dealing with an older child with some experience. That being said, and with your willingness to support your child's passion for ponies, there are a number of factors to consider before you go out and buy your child's first mount.

Tips on Buying Your First Pony
1) Expect to pay a reasonable amount, well trained ponies aren't any cheaper for training costs than any other breed including large horse breeds.2)Be reasonable about what your child is capable of, if you have a trainer "LISTEN" to them they can be the judge of what your child needs, otherwise you are just wasting your money, a very well trained pony is always the first choice for a beginner.
3)There is no such thing as a bombproof pony, Horses can be dangerous; kids need to be taught to ride safely and "RULES" for safety. Kids must be supervised while riding until they can make the correct choices. I strongly advise Pony Club, 4-H or any other youth organization.
4)Remember not every seller is ethical, there are those out there who will gladly take your money don't believe everything you hear from a seller check it out ask around, ask other people or ask for references from the seller from people who have bought and are satisfied , listen too your own gut feeling, don't be dazzled by a particular bloodline, bloodlines are just one part of the entire picture when shopping for a childs pony temperament is of the utmost importance.
