				My worst fear : Dad, can I have a pony?
			 Yea, my worst fear. My daughter asking me this question: Dad, can I have a pony? I hate horses! They are too expensive and eat too much, and they live for 50 years.

				 | And they take alot of care and time. Vet visits are expensive. If you have money to hire someone to care for you horse, fine. But a horse is not a good 'pet' for any small child unless the family already has horses and it is part of their pre-existing life style. |

				 | Do what we did get your daughter SOMEONE ELSE's PONY!! we have stables next door there is about 6 horses there, because we live right near 2 race tracks (harness and field) One of theracehorses next door tore a muscle and so we allowed them to use our huge backyard to place the horse while it recoevered. Our daughter got to see the horse everyday they had to feed and MOST IMPORTANTLY - they had to clean the shit up! So it was like having a horse for free. the only took it away 2 days ago. I hope another horse gets injured  |

				 | First, let me offer my best wishes to you, whee. If she's anything like I was as a child, she won't give up until she has one. Good luck handling what may well become a lifelong obsession for your kid. Somehow my parents managed to do it gracefully. I was a horse show professional before I was an adult biz person, and let me tell you - the horse show biz is even more fraught with shady deals, drugs, cheating, skimming, shaving, underage sex, you name it - than I have found in the adult biz. Aside from that though, through having my own horses from childhood, working for various farms, and in short learning about the industry inside and out, I learned a lot about responsibility, hard work, business, and money. Perhaps she will be satisfied with a pet pony in the backyard, but more likely than not she will eventually be drawn to the lure of the show circuit. Good luck! And ICQ me if you ever need some advice or support  ICQ#125667290 |

				 | Stop spoiling your children where they go to the extent of crying for a horse    What the fuck is a kid going to do with a horse/pony anyway? Fucking TV and hype glorifies shit too much, I see they have camel rides now....maybe soon kids will begin crying for a camel. BTW: I'm just cranky tonight  |

				 | I got my daughter a filly last fall she has been wanting one for years and been riding sence she was 5.  They are not a lot of work but you still have to mess with them at least an hour a day.  Just for fun this is what you can expect to spend. 300-800 for a horse 500-1200 for a registered quarter horse or paint 300-500 for a kid saddle (figure on buying a bigger one later) 100 bridle 25-50 to have its hoves trimed after it loses its baby hoves 25-50 to have it shoed 100-200 on hay a year 150 a year for grain 50-100 grass seed after then kill all the grass when the ground it soggy during spring. 50-100 fertilizer 40-60 for 2 halters if it is a colt when you get it less if it is full grown 150 odds and ends like lead ropes, lung lines, blankets, combs, brushes ect. 180 for DNA test if you want to register the horse as a quarter horse or paint if you want to see her horse here it is Horse |

				 | When my oldest son was 6 or 7, he begged and begged for a horse.  I told him he could not believe the work involved with keeping one.  I found a local stable willing to let him learn what was involved.  He volunteered there under supervision for several days.  Mucked out stalls, brushed, etc.  It wasn't long before he decided that a horse was best if he could visit and ride from time to time and not have to take care of.  Ended the begging completely.

 Grain - $50+/month Hay - $75-100/month Bedding - $60/month Farrier (trim/shoes) - $100 every 4-6 weeks Worming - $15 every 8 weeks Vaccinations - $200/year If you are boarding, depending on the part of the country, expect to pay between $350 and $2000 per month. The last show barn I worked at charged $1500/month, just for board. That's very conservative and doesn't take into account any lessons/training, which your daughter would need, nor any vet bills which are pretty much unavoidable no matter how careful you are. And good luck finding a sound, kid-safe horse for $300-$800, it will probably be closer to a few thousand. Like the other people on here, I recommend taking her to a local barn where she can try working in exchange for some lessons. That way you see if she's serious without having to spend big $. I I ended up with a horse and a full time job at 12 (left school at 16 to ride on the show circuit) but most kids unless they're really serious will quit after a day or 2 of cleaning stalls. | |

				 | Just think of all the joy that a horse will bring into your daughters life... and then when shes sick of doing the chores think of how much joy the horse will bring into your life. Every child tells their parents they will take care of the pet...

				 | My horse just had a major injury, and we had to give her to a woman in Sarasota that has a massive ranch and the money for her care.  We had a bad thunder storm, and she went through our electrical fence and then through the neighbors barb fence. She sustained 41 lacerations on her neck and sides, as well as peeling the skin and muscle off of one front and one rear leg. She is able to walk without limping, and will recover, but she needs 3 visits from the vet a week, at 490$ each. That does not include the shots and pain meds, and the wound dressing that I was doing. Plus the hours of walking to build her legs back up. The really sad thing is that she was a winning throughbred. Her name is Bob's Hail Mary. The people that took her will have her fixed in about 5 months, and will be breeding her. We will visit from time to time, and are very upset from loosing her, but we will go on. But a child would be devistated to see the damage that she suffered.. I know that it is a big difference between a pony and a horse that it 17.5 hands tall and 2k lbs, but no matter what, they are more work than you can imagine.

 for the record...horses don't live 50 years, maybe into their 30s max, but ive never ever heard of a horse hitting 35+. my horse only lived to be 33 before he died of cancer. horses are great if you want your kids to learn responsibility, but they definitely have to be ready for it, those shovels of horseshit are heavy! vet bills suck, i got lucky, both my parents are vets.

				 | I shud asked my dad to give me a pony, but for sure, he will give me a pony made of woods (   ) i still got a pic riding on that pony toy when I was a little kid. And from the price and maintenance of getting a horse it seems only few "blessed" people can afford to have one. |
