*Vid* Baby riding pony... Ummmm?

[RuthnMeg]

Just saw this and well Iam not so sure.. Obviously 'they' trust the pony (who doesn't look happy) but as he is strapped into the saddle, always make me think 'what if'.
Wouldn't mind if he was on a lead rein, do you agree or not?

Very sad how downtrodden and accepting the pony looks.

I think the child's hairstyle tells you all you need you know about their parenting......

Lol,- However bloody idiots have strapped the poor kid on

I agree the pony is a dubious. Also there is no way I would have a baby strapped on without the horse being on a lead rein, that is what bothers me most.

However does no one remember the basket saddles that are used to introduce very young children to riding. Certainly it was my first introduction, which can't have harmed me, I am still here 45 years later! I remember being strapped in, shocking eh?

I agree the pony should be on a rope.
From the looks of it they are at a farm/petting zoe, so the pont knows just to walk round and round the track.

The poor pony does look sad.

That would not, in a million years, be my son or daughter. And that's all I can really say about it.
