Small stature, long flowy hair, and beyond adorable—ponies are an excellent family pet as they are much easier to train than a horse. 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 a ton of space to roam.
