Children

[Kelli Hjelmeland <kelli@mb.sympatico.ca>]

I don't believe Karen's question about stirrups for children is off
topic. After all, children are crucial to our sport. If we don't get
them interested in riding and endurance (or find a fountain of youth!),
the sport will dwindle.

I also have a three year old daughter that is starting to express an
interest, and I would like to know about stirrups as well. I have a
small (pony-sized) western saddle for her to start off in, but her feet
won't reach the stirrups for years!

Karen, if anyone has given you great suggestions, please share!
