This pony is 25 years old, but a good child's pony. He is very wise and patient and has trained many young riders. He tends to eat too much. A lot of ponies are like that. When you are starting out with horses, you should try to get one that is quiet and well trained, and a good size for you--not too big or too small. An older horse is generally preferable, though not always. It depends on how well the horse has been trained, and also on its particular temperament. Get an experienced horse person to help you find a good horse. Don't reject a horse because it is old.
