I have a 4 year old son, who has just begun to hack out (with me on foot), off the lead-rein in walk and trot. He is learning to canter on the lead rein/lunge. We spent last year developing balance with a ride once a week, so this year I guess will be about riding off the lead rein in all situations (really looking forward to hacking with us both riding!), riding more often, perfecting cantering and learning to jump. In a year, he will be 5 and confident off lead. Do I start pony club then, or shows at 5 and PC at six? Trying to think about this now as it might affect when we need to get our own little pony rather than sharing my friend's.
