You may only have a pony if you own, free and clear, enough land on which to pasture said pony and have the income, dedication and skills to build and maintain appropriate shelter plus feed, tend, exercise and occasionally medicate your new pony. You should also know before you buy that ponies poop a lot, and you will be responsible for this poop. Further, although people think ponies are good with kids because they are short, this is generally not the case. Ponies were bred primarily for hard work in mines, and often have the temperament you might expect from that lineage. One day your pony will die and then you will have to dig a really, really big hole. Also, ponies are NOT purple or pink and do not come with glitter rainbows on their ass. Ever.
