This is my 12YO cousin who started riding 4 months ago. She didn't like Horses until I took her to the yard with me one day and how she loves them! They are all she talks about. After speaking with her non Horsey parents they took my advice and she now has weekly lessons at a RS. This is a video of her first ever time on a Horse (my old share Horse) excuse my voice I sound horrible! Haha

I am not a RI and she is still attending weekly lessons. She just came to ride for a bit of fun. No CC please, this is the 2nd time she had ever ridden this Horse. I am very proud of her :) I am taking her to Olympia this year as a suprise :)
 
She is isn't she! She absolutly adores the Horses and has come so far in 4 short months. She did ask to go in the fields and gallop. I did say no to that one :p
 
Gosh I hope she doesn't see this or you'll have ruined you surprise for Christmas!!

looks like she's having fun - what a saintly horse!
 
Thanks :)

The Horse is so lovely, I had the pleasure of sharing her for 2 years! Her name is Nelly and shes a 15.1 14YO mare. No idea on her breed! We suspect she has some WB and Welsh in her. I've had my mum on her, my grandma, sisters OH and little cousin. All beginners and shes looked after every single one. She can step it up though for the more experienced rider and reguarly competes with her owner jumping 1m courses :) shes an absolute angel!
 
JFTD she doesn't come on HHO. Well not yet anyways lol. She will be getting her ticket in an early christmas card! None of my family are Horsey so its nice to have someone that is.
