DD who is 5, loves horses. We live rurally and they are everywhere. She would love to take riding lessons and there are many places near us that offer them but I am on the fence about letting her start. I didn't grow up in the UK so don't really know what pony club is and how much it involves. Do you take lessons first before joining pony club? Do you need to (eventually) own a pony? Is this a hobby that can take over your life- meaning a need to travel to events and lots and lots of practice? Do you need to be reasonably well off financially for horse riding/ pony club? I'm a SAHM so I do have time to take DD but also have 2 DS so need to consider them and their activities. Any replies to give me an idea of what I should expect from this hobby/ sport would be gratefully received.
