Any advice appreciated as I am totally useless and have no knowledge at all.
DD (8) goes riding every week and has done for the last 8 months or so. She loves it, but has not progressed to pony club yet (she has ASD) but she wants to keep on with riding and the 1-2-1 lessons.
We want to get her a helmet (hat?) and jodhpurs for Xmas but I have no idea where from? Budget is middle ground, important for her to be safe but at the moment she just goes round the ring bit and a walk/trot for half an hour a week. I have no idea what brand to get, what to look for etc. so any help appreciated.
Also any thoughts on encouraging her? She is really reticent to do the pony club as worried about meeting other people and not being good enough etc. (I live in hope though...) I am happy to keep on the 1-2-1 lessons but worry she is not really getting the full experience.
Apologies for lack of proper terminology - this is all a new world to me!
