My 6 yr old daughter can ride whenever she wants but she really isn't very interested. Does this mean she doesn't have horses in her blood? Or will she eventually just love horses like me?
I haven't forced her at all - we have a companion pony for my horse who she can ride and play with and very occasionally she'll come and play ponies but most of the time she is not at all interested. Ive booked her lessons at local riding school as I hoped riding with other children might encourage her. First lesson was great but second she was on a cheeky pony and after she said she didn't want to go back and she didn't want to learn to ride!
What is best when it comes to kids and ponies? Is it just my deam to share this love with her? Or if I don't push her will she later say to me she wished she taken advantage of having a horsey mum?
Any advice appreciated?
