Thinking
about buying a pony for your child?
Our ponies are great,
and we will try to find the best possible child/pony match, but buying
the pony is only the first step.
To get the greatest
possible enjoyment:
-
Your
child must continue their riding education. Get the child and the new
pony off to a good start with some lessons from a professional
trainer/coach. You won't regret the investment.
-
Ensure
that your child is firm, calm and clear in the "aids" (signals) given
to the pony. If your child does not give clear directions, then the pony
cannot give a clear response. To allow a pony to do something
incorrectly twice is to train him to do it i.e. running out on a fence,
not standing while being mounted.
-
Do not
leave young children unattended while handling horses. This is a recipe
for disaster! Very small or
inexperienced children may need several lessons on a
lead rope and/or longe line. You wouldn't just hand the keys to a child
and tell them to drive the car alone, so don't expect to do that with a
thinking breathing animal.
-
Make
sure that the pony has plenty of exercise and good food as a lack of
either will make him unhappy.
-
Don't
feed treats by hand as this may teach the pony to nip as he begs for
more.
-
You
must have properly fitting tack (saddle, bridle and bit) so that riding
doesn't cause the pony discomfort, which may cause him to become lame or
behave badly. Your child must also ride in boots with a proper heel and
a certified riding helmet. It is the law. It also just makes sense.
-
For
more horse/pony care tips, ask your professional coach and/or vet and
read as much as possible! These tips apply to adults buying horses
too!
