How lovely!

Where abouts do you live? We're in South Wales and ds1 (3 and 3 months) has been asking to go horseriding. Lots of centres round here don't seem to start until they're 4 though

Ours doesn't let them start until age 5, it's to do with the insurance they say.

Well done Astrid! Looks like you are doomed now...

You'll be amazed by how quickly the improve if they start at that age. Let's hope she is as enthusiastic about mucking out!

Oh Swedes! She's gorgeous, and did so well! Can't wait to take dd - when's the best age to start?

We live in Herts and a couple of the local stables take them at 3. She is very keen to go again so I think we will let her have one lesson a month. Then perhaps a bit moe frequently in the summer months.

aaaaw very cute. She seemed very relaxed and happy in the saddle - I have a feeling her new hobby is gonna get expensive
