A Word To The Wise
If your darling little muffin rides horses & ponies for any length of time, he/she will fall off. No question about it- even the most stoic geriatric gentleman will stumble, spook or get the wind up his tail, resulting in the aforementioned muffin hitting the dirt. Sometimes hard. Sometimes everything goes right & they still manage to part company, it just happens & is a part of this character building sport. That’s exactly why it’s so important to find the right barn, trainers & fit for your child.
If this totally freaks you & your child out, this may not be the sport for you but honestly, what a shame it would be to let fear get in the way of all the wonderful things building relationships with horses can teach us!
