Well, of course you want a small-ish animal. You also want it to be a well broke, older horse or pony. This decreases the likelihood that the horse will injure the child. Also, as a general rule, ponies are ornery and too smart for their own good. There are exceptions, but most will figure out ways to get the child off their backs.

My personal favorite is the Tennessee Walker. Many people think of Walkers as really tall animals, with these flashy gaits, but they actually can come as small as 13.2hh and those flashy gaits are artificial, the horse is forced into it with big heavy shoes and sometimes cruel soring. Theya ctually have still smoothg aits, but it isn't super fast or high-stepping like int he shows. Since they are so smooth, the child should have no trouble staying on like he/she might on a rougher-gaited horse.

I trained a weanling TWH when I was 10 by myself, with no professional trainer's help. I am NOT saying you should do this- I am telling you not to, it is very dangerous- you should still get an old, well trained horse. I'm just saying that if that doesn't prove that the Tennessee walking horse is an amazing breed for children, I don't know what does.

I put a link about Tennessee Walking Horses in the related links so you can read a bit more about them.

How should I surprise my daughter with a horse?

This depends really on your specific situation. Many parents simply wait until the child is asleep or away at a friend or relatives house then bring the horse to the stable the child rides at and place a bow on it and wait for the child to find the horse. Other times you may be able to do a 'treasure hunt' type game with the horse being the 'buried treasure'. Guessing games can be fun for the parents, and of course a traditional version of giving a horse to a child is to give a Birthday or Christmas present consisting of a halter for the horse with a picture attached to it.
