I am sure this thread has been done a million times, but from what age can young children safely start riding? One local stables says 4, but they start straight away with a 1 hour lesson which i find quite intense and long. My youngest is 3.7, and i would be looking for about 15-20 minutes on a leading rein for a few months before moving on. It has been decades since I rode, so it is really like i am starting again from scratch, so i would be hugely grateful for ideas and thoughts from people a great deal more knowledgeable!
