my dd had an xc lesson yesterday and one of the girls had a very good pony who is now 23 years old. The mum was talking to us and saying how amazing he was (he was a lovely pony) and then said especially considering he has a heart murmur.
I can't help thinking it's madness to put a 10 year old on a 23 year old pony with a heart murmur and expect it to jump round an xc course (they are planning to event at 80cm).
Am I worrying unnecessarily? We had our own pony who was fab who developed a heart problem and nearly collapsed taking my dd SJ (pony died a few weeks later ) so I am probably oversensitive?
