Pictures Pony Thief Child- Is there any hope?

[Durhamchance]

My five year old has caught the bug, the trouble is she has no fear! She will grab a ride on anything no matter how big or wide and tack is an optional extra
I cant school my share pony without being constantly asked if I've finished and can she have a turn. I fear this may get expensive! Any advice?

Oh dear!

Admit defeat. Buy a herd of ponies in an attempt to distract her from stealing yours. Realise that yours keeps being stolen anyway. ?

Registered Shetland mare - lead rein, for sale

Not sure I need to say more than that↑↑↑.

Looking forward to new posts: My daughter and her pony...

I agree, a herd of shetlands would probably solve pony thieving problems.

I might have bought a Shetland for exactly this reason...! My daughter is only two but the other day insisted on getting up on my pony (with me I hasten to add!), pinched the reins, pushed her hovering father away and commanded we walk off on a hack ?

I caved and bought my daughter a pony last year. Best thing I ever did. Get as much pleasure as riding my own.

 

[Bernster]

I think you know. New pony !!!

 

[ester]

given the pink and purple on the grey I think she might have an expensive matchy habit already too

 

[Pickelina]

yep, I've got one of those models who's almost 4. The grey in my picture is the result...

If you want to ride your own horse you're just going to have to buy her a pony or nail one of her feet to the floor, sorry.

Bless her I remember being a fearless ride anything kind of kid, I would do anything to have that no fear feeling now I am older.

My friends 8 year old rides my 15.3 on lead rein sometimes she is a tiny little thing as well I thought she was only 6 lol!

 

[SatansLittleHelper]

How much do you like your child..??
If you like her alot buy her a sweet pony.
If you're not that fussed buy her a Shetland ??????

Ern yeah, her mum might have that issue too!

Well ' shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted ' and all that , but you should have got her into ballet while you had the chance . Would've saved you a small fortune in the years to come , but you have nobody to blame but yourself . So , too late for you now I fear , but for those others with small children who read this - take note and take action NOW. Football , trumpet , gymnastics , piano , contemporary dance ( no shoes ! Bonus ! ) anything but horses . Lessons must be learned .

Suck it up and join the rest of us who have spent years at Pony Club rallies and events and chauffeured and groomed....honestly it’s fun!

Buy the pony! Best get her started as soon as possible!

I had to wait till I was 18 to buy my own so I think its best to get her one as soon as possible!

I was that 5 year old once.

Doomed, I tell you - doomed.

That little shetland has a very kind eye in pic 2

My then 4yo son kept wanting to ride MY pony. I got a little NF grey mare on loan for him and it hasn't stopped. It is fabulous going out riding together, he goes faster than I do. ?

Good luck is all I can say.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

From this..

[Pearlsasinger]

Well if you will buy your child a riding hat.......

 

[OldNag]

There is now no escape.
You have to buy a little one
Or two.....
