I could only click one, so I clicked "Safety", but "Care of the Ponies" is equally my number one. :)

I siad care of the ponies but I don't think non-horsey people would care all that much (or know the difference). Safety would be a big one for parents.

Having liability insurance!!! You will get sued. There are many lawsuits involving ponies/kids. Even if the riders/parents sign release forms if the lawyer can prove negligence (and in a lot of horse operations this is easy to do) you will be sunk.
