I so luv being a Pony , and have had a weekend pony retreat where yes i was in a stable ,got a couple bath s "cold hose baths " and NO i can no longer do what Trigger does as in give bareback/saddle rides to all comers .I am more the dressage , show , and cart type pony .Its a MUST to have a loving , caring , watchful trainer /owner too .One example : as a pony "unless your mr ed " a pony can not speak - tapping with hoofed feet , or whinnies , and head shake s are the only way of communication .On the first day i had some allergic reactions to a wool blanket and perhaps some barn conditions , this was seen and corrected with care from the trainer . I could only do a 24/4 in full pony role on the fifth day it was all about after care , rest , and a lot of talking about the past weekend . Being at such a get a way was spectacular as you get to be with others ,play with other pony's , and just be .. I would suggest an intensive weekend event before considering a long term commitment . The other thing is gear , on both sides of this its big bucks for both the pony and owner .Sure you can start with a simple head stall and begin but i find it addictive in that i want to have more items .I am looking forward to Thunder too as they are going to have a pony class . Faery > u would make a great pony or perhaps a unicorn ..smiles
