Warning - bit of a gushy one

[dinny]

but am sooo proud of dd and she had her first riding lesson today and was FAB. Was just so poised and cool - didn't even hold mane/saddle even when going down steep hill. it's so amazing when you see your child do something for the first time, isn't it?

My heart swells with pride very often dinny so yes I agree

I remember my first riding lesson aged 5 (it was 32 years ago!) as if it was yesterday, what a great feeling.

Very expensive hobby though, and probably won't be long before you hear "mum can I have a pony of my own"!!

Fantastic!

How old is your DD? I am keen to get my two starting (if they want to) as I haven't ridden since I had them and we could all do together but not sure what age to start.

dd is 3, WCL - 4 in May. I started when I was 2.5 and cannot WAIT till she's a bit older as am planning to buy a 14hh-ish pony for us all....

Car25, not TOO hideous £7 for 30 mins. So am starting her going every fortnight atm.
