how to talk your parents into getting you a pony for Christmas

Corporate Santa says Ho, Ho, Ho, where's my cheque?

 

Let me know if this works; Gawd knows I tried for years unsuccessfully, but then I didn’t have the benefit of these half-dozen irresistable pony pitchin’ tips! Stolen from Bridlepath.

 

Your parents will probably remember the time you begged for a hamster, and then after a few weeks it sat ignored on your bookshelf with a smelly cage. You have to understand that having a horse isn’t all fun; sometimes it’s dirty, frustrating, and just plain hard work. Are you sure you want a horse?

Your Long Term Project

Even if you are sure you want a horse you probably won’t be able to convince your parents overnight, or even in a week. It may take months for them to decide to buy you a horse.

But don’t give up. Many people have to wait until they are in their 30’s, 40’s or even longer before they get their first horse. Convincing your parents to let you have a horse may be a long term project. You may have to prove you are committed and you might have to make some compromises and sacrifices…

And so on, all responsible-like. Not a word about getting blackmail photos or hiding their cigarettes. But if these tips fail, try those two. In my experience you can get almost anything that way.

  1. I like this post. I had a pony, well two. My parents were told I was seen on a young mans motorbike, I came home to a pony and quickly found I was too busy to see said biker. I grew, the pony didn’t, the man did and got a new bike. I was bought a bigger pony. When I outgrew the new pony my parents moved house.
