If your pet is not restrained the first time he encounters a horse, the chances are that Fido will set off in hot pursuit of Dobbin!

Almost every parent goes through the “pony nagging” stage. It’s that stage where your child suddenly wants a pony for their next birthday and won’t stop crying until you either buy them one or let them ride one.
