new addition- help and pics

Thanks for the replies. When she is on a lead rope, it's weird because she tries to get as close to you as she can. So much that she almost pushes you over. And when she's off the lead rope she gets as far away as she can. (unless you have food ) She stays in a stall with Jack. (my donkey) And all the other animals can go in the stall. We just gated off half the barn for them. She might become a riding pony, only for me because my dad is too big. But only if she really trusts us, maybe in a year or two.

I only go see her twice a month during the school year because I don't live with my dad. He will spend as much time with her as he can. My dad holds the lead rope and brushes her just so she'll get used to it. We only do her body now, because it will probably scare her if we do her legs or face. She was able to sniff the brush and was pretty ok with it. Thanks again for the advice.

ps Any name suggestions?? I was thinking about Diamond because she's got a diamond on her forhead. But I'm not sure if I like it because it is so common.

It stinks that you'll only get to see her twice a year. Will you see her more during the summer because summer isn't too far away!

I got so caught up in trying to help you, I forgot to congratulate you on getting her and wish you a happy birthday.

I'm horrible with names...I'll have to think of some suggestions. Diamond is a cute name. If you really like it I wouldn't worry too much about how common it is.

That website has a bunch of horse names that you could look through. Some of them seem more like show names, but you could always shorten the name.

Thanks. I see her twice a month, not year. lol, yes in the summer I am with my dad much more often, probably about 3 times a week. Thanks for that website, I will have to look through it.

I like the name Rose, that's cute. Thanks so much everyone!

EDIT- I was looking at names and I like 'Painted Beauty'. What do you guys think about that name?

I really like the name Rose!!It suits her so well! I think I would have fainted if my parents got me a pony for my birthday! Just keep at her and give her treats when she is good she will soon associate you with food and food = good lol. Grooming her is a great way to get her used to you. You said she'll come to you when you have food , well then bring food every time you go to get her.

She is a pony because Trigger is just 13 something and hes pritty tall, she is smaller then you wich means shes smaller then Trigger . Ponies are VERY stubborn though so she'll need alot of working. Trigger is 6 and hes been ridden since he was 3 and he STILL bucks! He's so naughty.

Do not let her push you! That's a very bad habit, if she pushes you push her back, but don't hurt her since most likely she was abused. She reminds me of my old Hackney Pony, Rodeo, sounds just like him. I talked to his owners now and they said he's doing good. He just needed someone that knew how to teach him they were the boss and what not.
