Horseback riding lessons for young kids?
Posted by Libby Marmon (+42) 10 years ago
Hi, My daughter is 3 years old, almost 4 and loves Horses! She has never seen one up close really besides feeding the horses up the street some carrots. She has been begging for over a year and keeps asking me when she can ride a real horse. I would really like to be able to give her the opportunity. Knowing nothing really about horses myself I do not know when a good age to start would be or where to go about finding her lessons, or just someone willing to let her visit and get used to being around them. To be honest i am a little intimidated by horses myself so I am hoping someone who has lots of experience and knowledge could be there. I also have a son who is 5 i would like to bring too, but he is not as "obsessed" with the subject as her so if one on one is required it could just be her. I would appreciate any info.
Thank you,
Libby Marmon
