My son Oli is 7 and pony mad. Unfortunately his confidence has taken a knock recently as he’s received a bit of stick from his peers with comments including ‘riding is for girls’, ‘boys shouldn’t like ponies’ etc. This coupled with the frustration I’ve found shopping for Christmas gifts for a pony loving lad has lead me to reach out to Facebook wondering if any other parents have had similar issues?
Everything is pink and unicorns! Only supporting the old fashioned narrative that ponies are for girls!
If anyone fancies sharing anything on this note it’d be much appreciated. I’d love to let Oli know he’s definitely not the only pony mad lad and encourage him to stick with what he loves.
