Do you think this would be a bad idea?

I'd quite like to take my friend out cubbing with me but she's quite inexperienced so I'm not sure if it would be a bad move or not.

She has ridden our horses on and off for years but with large breaks in between. She is quite competent and confident but still quite novicey. Mums horse, Caffrey, is very bouncy, pully hunting but in an annoying way rather than a scary way - he's very safe.

We are doing a pairs HT in September, do you think if that goes ok then she could have a go?? I just don't want her to be scared or anything but she's quite a brave sort.. what do you think??

I dont see why not if she copes with the HT.

see if you can get her to go out on a group hack with you first to see if a) she copes and b) she enjoys it!

Yea we've done all that kind of thing and she loves it. She also survived when my stupid horse galloped off with her too.

Only thing is Caffrey is very calm on hacks but very silly hunting. He'll probably be silly at the HT too though.

if she can cope with badger if sure caffrey will be ok. is ur mum out this year? guessing she wont be on badge tho.

hehe, no I don't think so!!!

I think she's going to try and come out, money is just a bit of an issue. We'll probably just come every now and then.
