When buying a pony...
Does you child really want a pony
or is it just a phase?
Suggest your child saves some pocket money towards
a pony, and if keen and really wants one will
be happy to oblige. If not, or cannot be bothered,
they wouldn't cope with the long term commitment
a pony requires.
Always consider the other costs of owning a pony
- i.e. farrier, vet, worming, livery, feed, tack,
rugs etc.
Always remember a pony is an animal with a mind
of it's own. I always worry when people say the
pony is bombproof or 110% in traffic - it cannot
be guaranteed as a pony is an animal not a machine.
When buying a pony it should have well trimmed
feet/shod feet clear eyes clean nose and healthy
shiny coat. Try and find out any illnesses or
problems such as lamanitis the pony has had in
the past, so if you do buy it you can care for
it accordingly.
I often have people ring for the perfect pony
that won't get lamanitis - sadly it is the owners
that contribute to the pony getting lamanitis.
If you find your perfect pony and put it in a
lush field or grass or pump it with hard feed
you have a very high chance of giving your pony
lamanitis.
Sweetitch is a huge commitment and takes time
and maintenance to keep a pony with its mane and
tail on.
If going to view a pony with sweetitch, do your
research first to be sure what you are taking
on - visit www.sweetitch.co.uk
for more information.
Mum and Dad - if you don't think you can cope
with changing rugs, bringing in and taking out
etc., don't go and look, because you will be sure
it will be the pony your child falls in love with
and this will avoid any tears or disappointment.
But if you can cope with the maintenance there
are some super ponies out there and with the right
care with you'll have a pony with a mane and tail
and still have a lot of fun!
Well, if I haven't put you off, start looking
and have great fun. |

Honour
23/05/1995
Black Dartmoor mare - registered
Sire: Caws and Thunder
Dam: Tenacity
Honor is a super kid's pony - kind and willing and loves to be fussed over.
Honour is no longer available, you're a total star Honour!!! |
She's ridden on off the lead rein at shows, hunting and long distance rides - has super manners and is a pleasure to own. Honor has done some small dressage comps and behaved and went beautifully for my daughter. She is excellent in traffic and passes everything. An ideal first pony. She boxes and travels well. Comes to call (most times) but is easy to catch. Excellent stable manners and around small children. Looking for a lovely family home for this pony where she will be loved and looked after. Please feel free to email any questions. |
