How old is your oldest Oceangypsy? It would be good to get your children to learn to be comfortable around ponies first and to learn basic safety such as not walking close behind a pony, how to handle the pony etc. Then when the child is ready to ride, make sure it is a safe and steady pony, don't rush the child, let her progress at her own pace. That is the best way to build up confidence.
