Plan for a first pony to be in your family about two or three years
before it is outgrown. It may be tempting to buy a horse or pony
that your child will 'grow into'. But if your child has to struggle
to reach up and groom, bridle and saddle or deal with a pony that is
just physically intimidating, they may loose interest.
Two or three years may sound like a very short time and selling a pony can be hard on the heart. But better tears shed over parting with a beloved first pony because it has come to mean so many good things, than tears shed because the child was scared or hurt.
