We've just spent our 3rd summer holiday with friends in Scotland. The friend is an old school mate of mine that I re-met through Friends Reunited and we get all get on very well. Dd adores her and has adopted her as an extra aunt - but she's not someone she's known all her life. Friend is a very high level riding instructor with access to fab horses - dd is a riding nut.
Friend has suggested that, as she has a new young pony to bring on, dd should fly up on her own every 4-6 weeks over the year and ride, with a view to her riding this horse in competitions for her next summer.
I am absolutely certain that dd will be very well looked after and all that - but is does seem a very long way away. I haven't mentioned the idea to dd yet - not sure how she will take it - she's quite a homebody, but I know she would adore it if she could manage it. So what would you do?

Could your nearly 13 year old do this? If so would you let her?
