    How long did you wait before buying your first horse/pony?

    I rode as a child, my dad was the horsey parent so me and my sister had ponies when funds allowed. Had a break from 15 - 26 when I bought my own pony.

    How many weekly sessions when backing?

    Maybe smile and nod at the "helpful person" and continue as you were before. I'm sure your chosen rider will soon be able to tell you if he is up for more or needs a break
