When my oldest son was 6 or 7, he begged and begged for a horse. I told him he could not believe the work involved with keeping one. I found a local stable willing to let him learn what was involved. He volunteered there under supervision for several days. Mucked out stalls, brushed, etc. It wasn't long before he decided that a horse was best if he could visit and ride from time to time and not have to take care of. Ended the begging completely.
