Yeah but a pony would have four legs to support their weight rather than two. But I'm glad you're human too, because having a conversation with a talking pony would just be really strange.
Sure! You're a warm and caring person, you're patient with people, I think you'd do fine. Of course I don't have any experience at it yet either so what do I know? We could both fall apart at the first all night crying session when the kid won't shut up and all we want is a few minutes sleep.
