The area where you go will be a impact. There are many pony clubs in NZ. Eventing is quite popular but can find people who just trail or pleasure ride.
I am not sure of the cost and quality of your current steed but would think you can t take the money you will pay on transport and replace it with something very nice.
I am an old horse person and know you can become attached to one and money is not an issue.
The comment about a horse living in the paddock is true here. Very few animals live in the stall here. There are free to run in the open and is felt it is more healthy for the animal.
You might come out and have a look around first. The pony can follow you over later when you have a definite decision. The cost is the same and will give you time to find it good accommodation first.
Cheers,
Cliff
