I know the majority wont give a horse or pony for summer months
They want people to confirm to a lifetime committment.
I looked into this a few yrs back
I had land that needed grazing and i offered to take some horses from a welfare to graze land.
It was close to me at home and i had one of my own on it at the time however they did not want this

If not try out a few places put up adds etc saying experience of the young lad and where it be.kept. etc
I do see lots of ponies for loan
