tucson: I just bought a house on over an acre and want to get my children a small pony. If you know where I can find one please let me know. Thank you!|||Go to www.craigslist.com, then go to your area (Arizona, Tucson), then to farm and garden. You can then type into the search box: pony, and find ponies in your area. But, watch for the ones that are just green broke. If you aren't good at training, they may be very nice ponies but might not be good for all-around riding. If you are just looking for a pony to lead the kids around on, then any of those might work. For general riding, pick a pony that is large enough for an adult to get on and remind of manners, or pick a small, well-broke horse who already knows what he needs to know. These are sometimes called "babysitters", because they will ride with anyone on them, and will actually be cautious of how they go, for the rider's sake. You can also go to www.dreamhorse.com. If you know any horse people, bring them along with you to see any horse or pony. You just never know what you are going to get, if you don't know horses, from lameness issues to behavior issues, and some people will drug the horse before the person comes to see it. Have it vetted if you are spending any amount of money, or you could end up with a cute "decoration" for your property, but not ridable. I also agree with checking on the land requirements in your area. An acre is not much land for livestock.|||Check with your township first to see if you are allowed to have a horse. Some townships require two or three acres before allowing someone to own a horse or pony. **IF YOU HAVE PRIOR EXPERIENCE WITH HORSES** Check on Craigslist. **IF YOU DO NOT HAVE PRIOR EXPERIENCE WITH HORSES** Take your kids down to a reputable lesson barn to have them take lessons on well-broke horses first. Then let them lease a horse, and understand it's repsonsibilities. If that works well, then see about getting them a horse or a pony.|||www.dreamhorse.com www.equinenow.com www.horseclicks.com www.craigslist.org A cheap horse ain't good and a good horse ain't cheap.
