Any advice please

Hi new to the horsey section. My 6 year old daughter has been having riding lessons for the last 12 months and now wants us to buy her a pony which we have said we would not do straight away but we would consider a loan. The thing is she now knows how to ride but she needs to learn all the other things that go with a pony ie. taking care of it, feeding etc. I've tried placing ads on websites selling/loaning ponies asking if she can help someone to look after their pony so that she can learn but help them in return but have had no responses. She is so keen she gets to her lesson 45 mins before she's due to start and we are still there an hour after as she just loves walking round the yard seeing and talking to all the horses. It's so frustrating there must be so many people out there who could do with the help and it would teach my daughter at the same time but I don't know where to look for them. Any suggestions?
