This is a discussion on My Daughters first trail ride within the Horse Pictures forums, part of the Horse Pictures, Videos, Artwork, and Contests category
Looks like she had a great time and wow what a beautiful place to ride! We ride with a local saddle club and I always love it when there are kids on the rides. Its usually old foggies like me so it nice to have some younger outlooks.
Yesterday wasnt enough so we went again in the rain

She has done so well. Im proud of her. She had a bad experience 2 yrs ago but she has now overcome it and im not sure if I can keep her out of the saddle now.
Thanks We had a very good time and yes she's got the bug. I forgot to mention that these rides were at Kennesaw Mtn State Park. Its great for a short ride I think they only have 7 or 8 miles of trails so we rode twice.
Well I got to saddle a horse for her so she can ride in the ring for a while
she looks very comfy in the saddle...might I ask what was the accident?
Don't forget to get her to wear her helmet and set the example yourself by wearing yours
We bought a new horse a couple yrs ago and she went in the paddock because we were thinking of making it her horse. He charged her knocked her down a bit her real bad on the chest. She knew that she was never to go into the barn or paddock without me or mom. But she was excited and disobeyed the rules but she learned a very valueble lesson. That rules are made for a reason and horses can hurt you very badly that's why I mess with them before they do. Needless to say my bride to him back where she got him the same day. And what makes it so bad is we know the horse and its owners and it has never done anything like this before. Goes to show ya is that you can never be to safe around them.
