Have wanted to take Lottie horseriding for ages. As she's 3 in a month and still not walking or even standing, i thought it would be a really nice thing for her, and me, to do together. It's something she can do, other than being taken swimming, that she can (hopefully) really enjoy and get into.
Anyway, every stables I've spoken to has said she has to be 5.
Just spoken to one 12 minutes away from my house and they said that as it's special circumstances (Lottie has Down's syndrome) they will allow me to come down, they've picked out a special little pony, we can borrow her son's gear, they have a back support and she'll walk on one side and I'll walk on the other and I can go down on Friday.
I'm so happy. This woman has put herself out and made allowances and is basically gping out of her way to help us
Lottie might hate it but at least we get to try it.
At the moment she bum shuffles up and down the hall, holding onto pretend reins making 'clip clip' noises, pretending to ride a horse So hopefully she'll love it, I really hope so.
