I have 2 daughters aged 9 and 11 years. Height wise there's very little between them.
My 11 year old has a cracking 12.2 that she adores. He's very much her own pony, not bought to share with sister and she pretty much does everything with him herself. She's a nervous rider and this lovely pony has given her so much confidence. It sounds corny but she really does have a special bond with him, they just have the best child/pony relationship anyone could dream of.
I now find myself looking for a pony for daughter no 2 who ideally would want a 12.2 also.
I can't decide whether to look for another 12.2 or look for 13 hander, hopefully a slightly chunkier model than our 12.2 who is a Riding Pony.
My thoughts being that over time maybe older daughter could switch to the 13 hander and relinquish the 12.2 to her sister??
It seems almost foolish to buy another 12.2 when my 11 year old will soon outgrow hers (not weight wise as she's a skinny Minnie) and I HATE selling them and especially can't envisage selling her current 12.2 as he's one in a million!
I haven't yet seen anything suitable of either height but keep thinking is it unfair to buy my younger daughter a pony with her older sister in mind too??
