Welcome to Barnmice, Maureen! :)

HelloOOooo There Maureen!!
BIG Warm Welcome to Barnmice!!

Awwwwwwwwww Maureen .....
Bless Your Heart!!
I LOVE it that you're searching for a pony for your 5 year old daughter!!
And I LOVE the Way you're shopping, and the words you used to describe the pony your looking for!!!
... very safe ...One on which she can begin her riding lessons ... Age doesn't matter but must be healthy..

Good On Ya Maureen!!!
Why Can't MORE parents look for "first time" ponies that fit Your description!!

As far as the "proper" place to post an ad ....YES, ... if you go to the forum ... scroll down, you'll find "Free Classifieds" ....and you're welcome to post it there .... but ... were it me ... I wouldn't really post it as an ad.
I'd post it in the "Forum" ... under "General Discussion"
In my opinion, I Think it would get more, and better quality of attention.
And I Genuinely think "Searching for a child's First Pony" is VERY Worthy of discussion!!!

..... also as a side note ... there are some Awesome "Well Respected" Extremely Knowledgeable - VERY Successful - horse folk here in Barnmice ... that might never see your ad in the "classified" section .... but ..... under general discussion, they WILL see it ... what show person doesn't know of GOOD Solid ponies available, that have been outgrown by their rider and now need a New Rider!!
...just my thoughts mind you ... lol ...

Let me know how the searching goes.
I'm Certain You'll find Just The Right Pony!!
and again ... Welcome to Barnmice / Don't be Shy ...Wade Right on in!!!
Everyone's Going To Just Think You're Terrific!!

Maureen ....
By chance is that your Grandgirl in the pict ...is that You with her???

(...lol ... that's putting a positive affirmation into physical being!! ..*wink* ..)
You're a Gem Maureen!!
I'm glad You're here in Barnmice!!

Yes, that's my granddaughter and me and thanks for the positive comments. I've posted in the general form so here's hoping.
Where are you? I'm in Ontario, Canada and I ride my beautiful big chestnut warmblood, Loewenhart as often as I possible can. I'm a dressage rider, or I should say a wannabe dressage rider.

...*laughing* ...
Well I'm only JUST coming back to "Horses" after nearly 2 decades away.
I'm in the process of shopping for my new Best friend / Equine partner!!
And I'm with You ... dressage is where my focus is ... well, that and some hunting and I'm taking an interest in Combined Driving!!
Heck ... I'm only 50 ...
There's STILL time for me to do EveryThing ...erm... isn't there????

I'll look forward to seeing pictures of Your Loewenhart,
Ohhhhhh and I'm in Colorado ... come on over, Any Time!!
