A Clydesdale. Clydesdale's are actually good kid horses. They are very docile and friendly. but yes, don't get a shetland. even adults struggle with them. Caspian ponies are good for children, as are banker ponies. But I wouldn't advise getting a pony. They tend to be temperamental and your children will grow out of them. I would suggest a Cob. They are a good natured type of horse. They are very docile and willing. They are very reliable and sure footed. They are so reliable they sometimes give rides to deformed people or elderly people! DO NOT GET AN ARABIAN! Arabians are great horses for adults, but they may be too spirited for children.
I think maybe a welsh mountain pony is the best choice. They are good riding ponies and have a kind nature and are usually really good around children, pets and other horses.
DONT GET A SHETLAND PONY! They may look really cute but they are really aggressive. Always check with the person you are buying from about the horses background and attitude and make sure that you can take it back if it is not the right horse for you.
A miniature pony is a good start.
Answer 2:
Miniature ponies although often ridden are not designed for riding, only for pet and harness use and therefore are not good for children to learn to ride on. Shetland ponies (not the same thing as miniature horses/ ponies) and smaller equines are great first horses for smaller kids. However the pony should be big enough for an adult to ride to provide 'tune up rides' when needed.
