Where can you find good ponies?

By , About.com Guide

Question: Where can you find good ponies?
There are lots of places to find ponies. Here are just a few ideas:
Answer:
  • Ask at the riding stable where your child takes lessons. Outgrown ponies or school ponies ready for semi-retirement are ideal.

  • Ask at Pony Club or horse club meetings if any members have outgrown their mounts.

  • Classified Ads may yield a selection of ponies. Ads with a phrase similar to 'sadly outgrown' can be an indication of a good pony that will be missed by its owner.

  • Dealers with a good reputation, or who specialize in ponies can be a good source.

  • Bulletin boards at tack and feed stores often have ads from individuals selling ponies.

  • Breeders may have ponies for sale. These ponies may be higher priced since they will be purebred animals.

  • Online classified can make it easy to 'shop from home' for a pony.
