[RC] kids~one likes hores, the other???? - Lori Greene
I have a kid question, do any of you here, have one
child that wants to ride and the other does not? I have an 8 yr. old son
who wants to ride, and a 10 year old daughter thinking that she doesn't want to
anymore. We finally got the "right" kind of horses for the kids to learn
on and feel comfortable to go out and trail ride. We bought a horse for my
daughter in Feb. and she was all gung-ho, and now she's fizzled out, say's she
wants no part. I've asked her if she's scared, "no", I've asked her all
kinds of questions, and basically she just say's "nah" to the whole thing.
I told her that was fine originally that I wasn't going to force her to do
something that she didn't want to do, but she had to realize that everyone else
"still" wanted to ride, and how was it going to be when mom, dad, and brother
wanted to ride and she had to go stay with someone, is she going to feel left
out? How do you guy's deal with it? I know she will ultimately feel
left out, it's her nature to, and I know that
mom's going to be riding feeling guilty and heartbroke that she's not
along. Any advice?
