Hi there, I am quite new to mumsnet and wondering if your combined horsey wisdom can help me. My DD is 18 months and has just progressed from the rocking horse to my elderly pony. She currently wears a cycle helmet and one of us leads the pony and the other holds her on. She loves it and laughs the whole time and screams when we take her off at the end. I am hoping these are good signs that I have passed the horsey gene on! We are talking 5 minutes up the lane and back. Anyway I want to get her a proper hat but her head only measures 47cm and I cant seem to find any that small. In addition I am thinking of getting a safari cub saddle. I am thinking this will fit my old pony and also go with when we eventually get her own pony (not for a few years). Am I being a bit ambitious with this? Obviously my ponies saddle is far, far to big for her. I know we are starting v young and we are not expecting her to do any more than walk up the lane once a week as long as she enjoys it. But I do want her to be safe! Any advice / tips greatly appreciated.
