Should I get this Pony?

[BearM]

I don't know if I should get her...
Pros.
Easy to ride
Goes where you want it too
Nice
Doesn't bite, kick, buck, etc
Will go fast if you want it to
Not too much money


Cons.
Sometimes runs back to the gate because her friends are there
Moved away when putting the saddle on
Fast
Always wants food

Are you an experienced rider?
Can you stop her from running back to the gate?
Got any pictures of her?

Welcome to the forum!

Yes, I have been riding for 3 years.
Probably with some work

Here she is

Go for it. I bought my first horse with saved up money when I was 12 years old.

Soooooo many variables
How old? Boarding stable? Past history? School pony? At this stable? Someone's personal pony? Past riding history... Trail? Mostly arena? Trailered to riding trails/events? Does it give up on being barn sour after a certain point or is the whole ride a mix of wanting to turn around & go back followed by wanting to bolt & finish? Do you have the time for training - which might include a lot of hours never even getting into the saddle?

I don't want to be a party pooper - and I want to encourage you to follow exciting dreams... but I've taken in a few project pets that (although MUCH LOVED) became anything but the dream I had envisioned.

She is 7. She will be at my house. Currently, she lives with a small family at their house. She will ride on tails. She only wanted to slowly trot back to the stable to be with her friends but didn't do it the whole time. Yes I have a lot of time for her.
