New generation

I am a proud mama today.  My almost three year old daughter told my
husband that she didn't need him to hold her on the horse and to back
away she could do it herself.  Of course, he held her anyway but I'm
starting to take her requests for a pony more seriously (she does seem
to have a natural seat afterall :-).  I'm wondering what types of ponies
tend to be friendly, bomb-proof and trail hardy.  It will be awhile
before she can hit the trails with me but I want her to have a pony that
can keep up and enjoy the ride.  I read about Fell ponies and they seem
to meet those criteria.  Anyone know about them or have other
suggestions?
