It depends on where your backyard is. If you live in the middle of New York City, the answer is no. If you live in a rural area and have a very large backyard it may be ok if the neighborhood is zoned for this type of animal.
Before buying or moving a pony that you already have, check with your local zoning plans and regulations. Also, keep in mind how close your closest neighbors are. Some neighbors would not have a problem with a pony. Others can be a nightmare waiting to happen. Best to do your homework on the subject first, before you move your pony in.
