  1. Horse Talk
    I am thinking about starting to buy and sell ponies. I plan on training them to drive and just be good citizens and then selling them. I only want to do one at a time and I can keep it for as long as needed and won’t ever send to auction or to anyone that seems to be sketchy. But what do y’all...
  2. Driving
    I'll be the first to admit I know nothing about driving horses. I do want to learn, but any pony I'd get would be professionally train if I get one that isn't already trained for driving. My 64 year old grandmother can no longer ride horses and we've talked about getting a pony and cart for...
  3. General Riding queries
    So I'm a tall rider 6' 1". I read today that the chincoteague pony swin and carnival was canceled for 2021 and they are doing an online auction for the ponies. July was the time frame I was planning on for buying a new horse. So it kinda works out, but my grandmother (and myself kinda) are not...

    I'm curious to know what's the smallest horse/pony you've ridden. And why you did so. I trust that none of you ridden <10hh.😖😖 Unless you yourself are a child or a particularly small adult.
  5. Stallions and Broodmares
    We are thinking of breeding our Welsh/Connemara/Shetland Cross in a couple years, but I was just curious how much taller the stallion can be to the mare? Our mare is currently around 12.1 hands and is 2 1/2 years old, I'm thinking she might grow to around 12.2 or 12.3 still, not much more than...

    Hey everyone :) So my grandma had 2 ponies that she got roughly 6 years ago. The one was a rescue as she'd been very abused to the point she'd freak out if you picked up a whip or even just a stick despite standing a few feet away and not even directing your body towards her. She was also...

  10. Horse Health
    Since buying three ponies back in December I have had to treat all three for lice which I am thinking originated with the mare. Now we are dealing with an overnight hatred of having their ears touched. I am wondering if it is ticks but are there other things that it might be?
  11. New and Returning members, introduce yourself here
    Hello! Growing up I had pasture ponies that I would ride mostly bareback but some saddle. They were always low maintenance therefor I don't have a lot of knowledge about more advanced care. We recently purchased three ponies for my daughters for Christmas, a mare, her 2yo colt, and a 2yo colt...

    My cousin is wanting a pony, and she's ten. What would be a good pony for her? She doesn't have any riding experience, and she really needs a pony that's gentle and sweet. Any ideas? I've heard that Shetlands can be pretty mean. :|

    Hello, thank you for clicking! I would like your opinion or educated fact on how often you should be riding your horse. Of course it probably depends on the horse's physical condition.

    These are my beloved ponies. They live outside all year round, and are mainly ridden by my little sister a few times a week. They are all welsh mountain ponies, and are getting older (aprox. 17 yo) and I was thinking about turning them into schooling ponies. I need a second opinion. (Sorry...
