KID PONIES

HERE ARE OUR UP AND COMING KIDS AND OR RIDING PONIES!  SOME ARE OFFERED FOR SALE AND SOME WILL BE OFFERED FOR SALE AS THEY ARE READY!!!

We are honest to deal with and all ponies are honestly represented.  All of our childrens ponies are loved and handled and they have excellent dispositions.  Disposition is our #1 reason why these ponies were chosen to be "kids ponies".  If they dont have the disposition, we dont feel it is even necessary to try and "make" a pony be a kids horse.  They have to love attention, children, and like doing what they do.
Please contact me @
jcomfert@hotmail.com if you have any questions about any of our ponies. 

Why are ponies great for children?  Because of their size for one reason.  With ponies, children can learn to do things that need to be done with a horse.  Helping to groom, pick up feet, halter, bridle, saddle are all very imortant parts of owning a horse.  If children have the animal that is more their size, then all these things are fun to do.  Full size horses are often intimidating to children. 

A lot of people say, well, my child will just grow out of it.  Yes, eventually they will, but the experience and learning they get from caring and handling their OWN size animal is well worth it.  I also find it MUCH LESS frightening for me as a parent to let my kids mess with ponies.  If they do fall off, they are a LOT closer to the ground, and most times just get right back up and get right back on!!!

MARES/Angel.ride.oct09.jpg

***SOLD!!!  THANK YOU RUDD FAMILY IN AR!*** 
Masters Delmonico Little Angel, ASPC # 141328A, permanate card at 41", 1993 silver bay mare.  Sired by THIS IS A NICE, NICE MARE!!!  Angel is a very pretty, nice registered shetland pony mare. She has a very pretty head, is correct legged. She is gentle, and is broke to ride and drive both single and double. She is quiet riding and a fun pony to ride. My tall 8 year old rides her loose with no trouble at all, she has a great whoa on her, turns nicely and is a touch lazy, will walk and trot with no trouble at all.  Just saddle up and go.  My 3 and 6 year old kids LOVE to ride her as well.  My 6 year old son has developmental and physical delay and he has a hard time riding.  Angel is fantastic with him and takes it slow and easy, he really enjoys riding her and she is perfect for a timid or new rider.  Leadline her for a while til the kids are ready to ride out on their own!  We have not hooked her to the cart ourselves. No vices, sound and sane, easy to clip, bathe, trailers, stalls, pastures. This is a quality, flashy, pretty, mare and fun for the kids. She was shown a lot before we got her and has numerous National top 10 standings in the ASPC year end points and is a halter point earner. She is 41" tall and is pictured with a tall almost 9 year old girl riding her.  Angel is open for 2010.

GELDINGS/Kato.walk.jpg

Courtney and Hopwoods Blue Kato

I am very proud of my oldest daughter, Courtney.  She has taken Kato from a gangly long yearling that was bought at a sale AND BARELY HALTER BROKE, to a very nice riding pony!  With supervision of course, Courtney has gotten Kato riding out on his own quite nicely and he is now a very, very super fun and easy going trail riding pony.  Courtney was the ONLY person to crawl onto Kato's back! GREAT JOB COURTNEY!!

Hopwoods Blue Kato
"Kato" is a44 1/2" 3 year old registered ASPC GELDING.  He is making a super nice riding pony.
  
Kato has been ridden in the roundpen and out on trails.  He seems to really enjoy being out on the tails and will go anywhere he is pointed to so far.  Rides in the front of the group, in the middle of a bunch of big horses (he doesnt know he isnt big :), in the back and is happy with it all!  He is crossing water with very little resistance and once in, seems to enjoy it.  Nothing has bothered him, he is super laid back and is a true joy to have around.  Courtney is having a complete ball with him and has grown very attached to him.  She will continue riding Kato out on the trails and also in the roundpen/arenas.  We hope to have him ready to show in 2010 in the ASPC registered shows as well as some open shows.  KATO IS NOT OFFERED FOR SALE AT THIS TIME.

MARES/Beauty.trot.cute.jpg

***SOLD!!!***

19 year old PRETTY silver bay grade pony mare. She is approx 48" (12 hands) and is broke to ride.  "Beauty" is an AWESOME leadline pony for the smaller kids, is very sweet and easy to mess with, very quiet.  She is also broke to ride out on her own and is an intermediate kids pony, she rides very nice, but can sometimes try her rider by wanting to go back to the barn (not running, just tries to turn back and child has to be strong enough to pull her back around).  She has been used as a playday pony and is not a crazy fast wanting to run type, but is easy for the kids to kick her up to a trot and canter.  She is not mean or ugly in any way, tolerant of the kids and did I mention pretty?  She is a cutie. The 8 and 9 year old girls are riding her and having a blast AND ASKING TO KEEP HER!
