If you get her a pony /horse buy something ride and drive,and chunky that way it can pull small things round the farm,pull a toboggan with hay in snow or just give the whole family more fun..nothing worse than buying a pony/horse where itll be outgrown within just a few years then another bigger or faster one is needed as the child grows.

Absolutely loved this video and you shared so much great knowledge and wisdom that certainly will be a blessing to anyone who is thinking of doing a homestead lifestyle. I started out my life living in the country in western Mass and was 12 when my family moved to CA. I got to enjoy having a garden and some chickens and seeing that my mother's parents were country living farmers, got to see how produce was saved by canning and root cellar storage. They also had the gamet of farm animals from chickens, rabbits, pigs and cows, both dairy and beef. Living in CA, I didn't have that exposure anymore until I got into high school and was in the FFA where I learned how to raise sheep, rabbits and chickens. Fast forward to many years later, after moving to TN with a job transfer and now retired, I still enjoy doing some raised bed gardening and had a small backyard flock of laying hens until a predator enjoyed them all. I still prefer to buy eggs from local farmers and vegetables and fruits from our farmers market during the summer months to support them. I also have to comment that your daughter sure displays both Mom and Dad in her actions and that is so cool. I see a trend in more folks looking at getting into the homesteading life which is so much healthier and beneficial to our society. Blessings to you as you go forward and great success in your future.

Your children are absolutely adorable. I love their energy. Maybe Audrey would be happy starting out with a mini donkey. Great to help with predator control and then maybe a horse down the road.

She definitely should HAVE a horse. We have two horses on our homestead and we love having our production animals but having pleasure animals makes the hard days a lot easier! Audrey, you have a beautiful personality and spirit. I am definitely FOR having a horse on the homestead.

I know exactly where you live. I lived on welcome grove rd for around 3 years almost across the road from your farm. I fixed my place up and resold it. You have a nice place. I lived there just in time to meet Randy’s dad. He was a really nice old man and a good old fashioned farmer. Now both Randy’s parents are gone and I actually moved back to Kentucky where I grew up. I love the small farming country life and I wish you best of luck as you make memories on your homestead.

Get a horse or pony that can be ridden and worked in harness. It would be very useful on the farm. I vote yes to the horse!

Yes, horses are a LOT of work, and very time- and money-demanding. IF we were ever to get into having a horse, it would be a very well thought-out decision.

I 💯 think your daughter should get a horse! I always wanted horses. I live in the suburbs of Sacramento so no horses for me. It can be a dual purpose to work on the property as well as provide joy to your daughter.

Some great tips and a fun video. Tractor is a huge help although it can be done without, depending on what you are doing. I bought mine, an older one for 500.00 and it works great for what I use it for....without the huge price tag. I like that each kid got their own animal. Well done. As for the horse - as a horse person, I would say get her the horse...but first get her some lessons where she can learn horsemanship, safety, care and riding. Good video!

Thank you for a fun and valuable video! As far as a horse goes, they eat and give rides, they eat and give rides…. If Audrey could get horse rides somewhere else occasionally, until she is able to buy and feed her own, that would be wise (in my opinion). A battery-powered vehicle, such as a golf cart, may fill that desire for now to ride through the fields.
