Think again. Many young children beg for a pony or a horse for Christmas. Make sure you know what you're getting yourself into before making that purchase. The article, "Christmas Horses, Ponies Take Commitment, Money" talks about all aspects of owning a horse, from how much pasture and care they'll need, to how hard it is to sell a horse and their lifespan. Not all aspects of raising horses are challenging, there are some rewards, but we want to make sure you know what you're getting yourself into before making your child's dreams come true.
For more information on what it takes to raise a horse or a pony, please contact your local extension agent.
