I completely agree with Fredsaid, If you are not extremely confident with training and handling a horse I wouldnt advise a buy. Unlike our foals that are imprinted at birth and housed in fencing, walls and pens : the Chinc.ponies are not. You need a TALL fence or round pen panels when you get them home. Not that I am speaking from experience or anything, but, my first pony was a chinc. (and naistier than cat####)

We just did Horse Science School, and a 12 (?) y/o girl was there with her Chincoteague Pony. Her family had purchased her as a 4 y/o at that auction, and she broke and trained her all by herself! That pony was beautiful, and sweet, and wasn't mean spirited or difficult at all when she got her, and it saddned her mom to know she was rapidly outgrowing her. She is now 7 and a real beauty.
I have to say Busterduck, she doesn't not look pony-ish, she looks like a pony sized mini, in other words, a horse, shrunk down. Just as mini's are really little horses, not ponies. Her mom told me about a buckskin mare who was purchased at the same time, and was slightly larger than her own, but has that same temperament. Even, kind, trusting and willing.

Do you want this for a child or just as a lawn ornament? Regarding "average" price for a pony...there is no "average". It depends on what you want to pay for what you want to get. Me...i wanted my kid to be safe and to have the pony build her confidence, so i looked for a sweet pony, who didn't know what putting her ears back even meant. A pony like that is priceless really.cdsulhoff said:

Here's the registry for the breed:

It has good information on it. Hope this helps.

RED: Its ignorant people such as yourself that have made the Horse threads just about useless. as a "generality" horses are any over 14h2 BUT some breeds (ie Arabs, and others, possibly Chiconteagues) are considered a Horse no matter how many hands!!!!!!
Hey IDIOT, perhaps you should read the registry for the friggin ponies before you leave Karma feedback such as the above. GET SOME BALLS; what I said is true and perhaps you should go back to school and learn how to do some research on the internet. If you have ARABs under 14.2 they are, in fact, in show circuits considered ponies. Meaning, they can show in pony classes. IT IS A SIZE NOT A BREED.
I have been riding for over 25 years and have owned horses for over 20. How bout' you?
Here ya go, I'll do the web search for you and feel free to let the RED FLY; I don't care

It is suggested by some that this derives from the typical price paid for a small horse, but in those times £25 would have been an unusually high price for a pony. Others have suggested that an Indian twenty-five rupee banknote featured a pony.

ya know...it amazes me that the self professed "experts" are so modest when giving all that love in secret.
Don't let it get to ya BusterDuck....they feed on the publicity.

Sorry...I didn't mean for this thread to get nasty. I was just relaying some info I got from the National Park Service when I went to Assateague. Maybe the confussion is because Maryland and Virginia treat the horses differently?
Maybe horse people "in the know" should let the government know they are wrong.

They are not wrong. They are horses too. Ponies are horses under 14.2. You didn't do or say anything wrong; I was just trying to provide a little more information than maybe was necessary. Many folks do believe that the term "pony" refers to a breed. Heck, I did too at one point. It is just a term used to describe the size range of the horse.
Mini's are horses under 36 inches (AMHR) or 38 for some other registeries. They are, of course, horses first. The term miniature, like the term pony, refers to the size of the horse.
I hope this helps someone understand the terms and what they mean. I guess I have said enough about this. I was just trying to help.

I guess they are really pony sized horses. I have a 2 year old that will (eventually) be a horse. But right now, he's only about 14.2 or 3. So technically, if he were to compete, I suppose he would be considered a "pony" although, when he's next to my gelding, he looks like a horse, only he's about 1" shorter at the wither. His head, body and bone are better than the "horse".....
BTW Busterduck you should come see him, you would be AMAZED that it's the same horse. Brooke didn't recognize him, and when Rottncop went in the field to spray Red with fly spray, he wondered why he wouldn't stand still. It was Blitz!!

I need to stop by.
I would love to see Blitz and your little filly. I bet she is getting big too. I saw pictures of Blitz on your website. He looked GOOD!
