DD, who has just turned 2.5 has just started going to 'pony gym' - a session aimed at very small people where they get to ride on a shetland, as well as helping to groom the ponies. She is really enjoying it (though i worry when she takes one or both her hands off) and she also had a few goes over the summer and watches her big brother ride and has been desperate to start herself.
anyhow, she is quite small for her age and they only seem to have a couple of hats that fit her well and if someone else has got there first, we have to wait. so i was thinking of maybe getting her one for christmas. i think that she will continue with the riding for a long while yet, but obviously being so small she is likely to grow fast and unsure how long a hat would realistically fit her for? can anyone recommend a type /brand of riding hat that i should look for? how do i measure her? or is it best to go to a shop (where?) to get her fitted? can they be passed on, or re-sold on ebay, or is a riding hat like a car seat and you should never pass on?
sorry for all the daft questions, but i have never ridden myself (though i fancy having a go ) so i am a bit clueless.
Many thanks,
