O.k. what kind of saddles do
parents put their kids in for long distance riding???? My 11 yr old
daughter is "graduating" from her 11 HH pony to our 15.1 Morab, we plan
to do LOTS of distance riding in the next year and I have to say looking at my
little girl on this ( relatively) huge horse in her tiny english saddle gives
me the heeby jeebies!!!!!!:-) I was asking her tonight at dinner if maybe we
could get her a western saddle, it seems to me that one has a better chance of
staying on if your horse decides to bolt right at a gallop !! She has ridden our pony for the last 3 yrs and honestly
once my kids learn to stay on that twisting,bucking,rearing pint sized
monster I tell my kids they can pretty much ride anything!!!!:-) I not
worried about my daughter's riding skills just trying to "maximize" her safety
level. ( I know.....go buy her a motorbike lol
<grin>)):-) Thanks for any
advice! Chrystal :-)
