Watch this first!
Hey, St. Nick! Stop horsing around. What’s on the top of
every kid’s Christmas list? If it’s not a puppy, it’s surely a pony.
How many classic Christmas movies, TV holiday sitcoms, and
storybooks contain happy “Santa brought me a pony” endings? Could an endearing
little equine be the answer to any horse-loving youngster’s Yuletide dreams?
Perhaps. Still , it may be time to rein in some of that
enthusiasm for things equid at the North Pole. A pretty pony is amazingly
adorable, as long as the owner is ready for all that comes with such a charming
creature.
Whoa, baby.
Gather the elves, big boy. Check this out before picking a
pony for that special kid at Christmas.

Maybe it’s time to
channel that unbridled enthusiasm.
Equine rescues often overflow after Christmas with these
well-intentioned holiday gifts that didn’t quite work out. It sort of like the
post-Easter phenomenon, when pet shelters gain a surplus of bunnies, chicks,
and ducklings.
Santa: Can you add a pony to the pack and still keep the
family stable, so to speak? Is the clan prepared to be saddled with the
expenses and responsibilities of caring for the cute critter?
If so, have at it.
(I’d bet I could even help you find a few
suitable mounts.)
