Terrific idea, Nachikethass! One week of helping with the pony cleanup will certainly give new meaning to âhaving a ponyââŚ..Besides, the âattitudeâ being exhibited here is âover the topâ and doesnât qualify for a pony under the clause ânaughty or niceââŚâŚ
Am not trying to be meanâŚâŚ.butâŚshe does have to go easy on âthe lipââŚâŚ.
Our niece wanted a horse so badly for years. Whenever she came to Kalgoorlie to visit, we werenât sure if she wanted to see us, or the horses at the stables! :) She spent a lot of time there, often helping to muck out the stables, learning how to care for horses, and of course riding :)
Anyway⌠she started a Hospitality Certificate at TAFE (vocational school in Australia), qualified as a cook/chef. She now has not one, but two horses, who she cares for and pays stable fees for. And she and her partner have sooo many cats and dogs :)
My teenage daughter took up horsemanship and dressage. Her lessons started with properly mucking stalls, grooming the horse including cleaning hoves, etc. She LOVED it and frequently went back between lessons just to âhelp outâ mucking stalls. One day her instructor, a woman in her 20s, observed that if we dads think all these trips to the stables were a drag, just be glad that when our daughters get the urge to wrap their legs around a sweaty animal, but happy it is a horse.
No, just take her to a commercial stable and hire her out for a couple hours to clean stables. She wonĘťt want a pony after that. Horses/Ponies are a bit territorial about their stables.

Take her to a farm, Adam. Let her care for a pony for the holidays. If she still wants one â wellâŚ

We are so very proud of her!

Santa carries around tons of toys and even cats and dogs, so one little pony isnât going to make that much difference.

Santa shouldâve left a note, telling her why she didnât get a pony.

no amount of letters will help, waiting 60+ years for my pony.

Adam could always point out the fact that they donât have a stable, plus any relevant laws about horse ownership.

The âpony thingâ is getting really tired.
