The 20 minute, hand led ride for 2-6 year olds and their families is $25 cash per rider under 200lbs. This works out to be about 1/2 the price of the pony rides if u break it down by the minutes :)
Kids have to be seven to ride. As far as i know the minimum time for a trail ride is an hour. Before my kid turned 7, I used to take her to the Griffith Park pony rides that are further up near Los Feliz. Much cheaper and she still had fun! (If you look at the answers down below, Griffith Park horse rentals posted about rides for younger kids)
