as to all these comments saying its the craziest thing youve heard buying a pony unbroken for 2 novices this is rediculous i have been riding myself for over 20years and was asking advice on breeding nothing else as this is something i have never done but regards to the breaking my 2 girls are now riding this pony with no problems i was simply questioning some info which i had been told saying horses are like dogs they calm down after having a foal!!!!!!! this i was unsure about!
i personally believe a horse is what you make it same as a dog if taught right from wrong youll have no problems i am far from a begginner and we also have a friend who rides the pony out on regular occasions and she is proving willing and sensible although still marish in the field and stable but working with this
if i was inexperienced i would not of bought a youngster for my girls but every pony has to start somewhere and how many adults do you know who is small enough for a section a 12h pony???? most ponies are ridden by children and as long as willing to learn i see no problems with this but this is because its not the 1st time i have broken a pony and i see the benefits daily what can be more rewarding!
at the time of me posting this thread i had only had her for 1week and was being told different things by different people i went with my gut instinct and put in the time and she has come on so much we was not wanting something ready here and now we wanted something to grow up with the girls and become friends she will be with us for life and will develop with the girls to me there is nothing more heartbreaking than these adverts saying for sale as wanting a pony with more life for jumping etc..... my2 will have this and never need more
thanks for all the comments and most comments were not even answering the question asked just critisising youngsters
