There are several factors that will determine what pony/horse to choose for a child. The size of the child, her riding skill level, temperment. Ponies can sometimes be difficult. There is a breed called 'Quarter Pony'. These are registered Quarter Horses that are under 14.2 HH. Quarter horses have wonderful temperments and they usually love children. This would be my first pick. The next would be the Welsh, or a Welsh cross-breed. The Welsh is a nice size and usually has a good temperment and are versatile.

Is a shetland pony the best breed for 11 year old?

When is good age to breed a welsh pony?

There is no one best age. However you should never breed any horse under 2 years old for safety and health reasons. It should also be noted that the pony should have good conformation, a nice temperament and be well proven under saddle before breeding. For all of that criteria to be filled the pony would likely have to be at least ten years old before breeding.

It all depends on what breed the pony is, where it is kept and so on, the oldest pony to have lived was 56 year old and died in May 2007. Answer2: The horse mentioned in the above answer was named Shayne, he was a Iris draught / Thoroughbred cross and therefore was not a pony, as Pony is a height designation only. That being said Ponies tend to live as long or longer than full sized horses. You can ride a pony of almost any age provided they are sound and healthy.
