I do understand this aspect of the rules. I think I should just obey to them for now and hopefully they may become a little more relaxed in the future.What happens if the pony does something unexpected and your daughter is injured and unable to phone you. You may only be a mile up the road but horses are unpredictable. How does the YO know that you won't blame her if, god forbid, the worst happens? I'm afraid she is sort of covering her own back and i can't really blame her. I wouldn't ride my on my own now, considerably older than 14. I trust my horse but they are animals. No one knows what their reaction will be to a pigeon flying out of the hedge on a particular day.
