Hi tack room chums
Looking for some wisdom as how to get DD off to the right start in ponies. She is 5, although the size of a 7 year old. She has been on a horse since age 3, and I had an 11hh 3 yo (don't ask) last year who was lovely on the lead rein but obv at age 3, no good off it with a DD on top, who was then 4. I found him a nice home and now have access to a 13hh 20 year old pony who is apparently bombproof. DD has ridden her in a sand school a few times but off the lead rein, the pony just stops at the gate and DD is simply too small and inexperienced to get her going again without me intervening. The other option is lessons at a riding school half an hour away which costs £30 for half an hour, and I am very skint at present....any advice? How did you start your children off? What age did they go off lead rein?
Thanks
