Your little one may be begging you for a pony out of the ponies for sale want ads in the paper or online but it is never a good idea to buy any animal without full consideration of the responsibility. We know you dreamed of your own pony as a child but make sure you are making a sound decision and not an emotional one.
Ask yourself if you think your child is really ready for the huge responsibility of owning a pony and the time commitment. Then ask yourself if you are ready too. It is a time and financial responsibility. Where are you going to house the animal and how much time can you spend with the pony?
But if you are ready for a new pony you want to ensure that you are purchasing an animal that is tame enough for the age of your child you are buying one for. This is usually listed in the breeding information that is listed for a stud service if you are going to order a pony bred. Their lines and the temperament of their parents can make a big difference.
You can also find other ponies that are used to children and their lineage and temperament are also listed in the advertisement. Know that you may get lucky and find a pony in your area but you may have to travel a distance and pay for the transportation of your new pony to where you live.
Regarding pricing is the lineage of the animal. If they come from strong lines then the price will most likely be higher than one that does not. For example if you are looking at a pony that has won a lot of ribbons and awards their colts will most likely be much higher. If you are getting a pony for just riding on and enjoying then the lines will not matter at much.
The good thing about investing in a show pony is that you can then turn around and stud your own male when the time is right. You can also use your mare to be studded and sell the colt for a profit and help recoup some of the price you paid for your pony. You also continue the strong lines of the pony by reproducing during its lifetime.
Before you finalize your purchase for a pony you should have them checked out thoroughly by a qualified vet. They will be able to tell you the health of the animal and any concerns they may have. Make sure it is your vet or an independent and not the vet of the person who is selling you the pony. We all want to think that people are honest but you are making an investment in the animal and the owners professionally should understand why you are requesting a vet check before purchase.
Admire the ponies for sale want ads in the paper but make sure you are ready to be a pony owner. Evaluate all the factors and check with a vet to make sure the animal is sound.
