Ponies are excellent family pets since they are much easier to train than horses. They are the perfect height for little ones to ride around on, and their calmer temperaments are sure to ease any anxious mind! Although they may be mini, these pintos still require plenty of space to roam.

Hi love those names… do you think i should name my baby chestnut pony Tango…???… shes 5yo and a great jumper but spooky…
Hello Luci,
thank you for a nice feedback! We think that Tango is a great name for a pony! The most important thing is whether you like the name and if it will be easy for your horse to recognize. As you may know, animals react more to the sound of their name rather than the meaning of the word itself. Therefore, Tango could be a great option as long as you keep the pronunciation consistent.
Hope this helps!
