Re: [RC] seeking childs western saddle - SHEILA A WALSH
Hey Peggy,
Falling off isn't always a bad thing for a kid. It teaches them some
respect for the activity and teaches them to get over their fear, if you put
them right back on - like within the minute.
As for a saddle, I agree with Angie on this one. I didn't have a
saddle, when I was a little kid. We rode bareback all the time. I
had one wicked spill, but I really learned how to balance and our gelding seemed
to prefer us bareback (probably putting any old saddle on him wasn't very
nice).
We have a 5 yr old grand daughter who recently fell off her horse (it was
an English saddle), so we are now hunting for a 12" western child,s saddle
(with a horn she can hang on to!)
