my youngest daughter just turned 2 this month. she loves the horses and wants to be just like mommy and her older sister so i have started teaching her to "ride" (mostly just pony rides on our horses with a side walker for now). she loves the feel of a moving horse and is having fun with the games we are coming up with for her on horseback.
the problem is that she is tiny so i am having a hard time finding any English riding clothes for her. she still wears 18 month size clothes. i have tried looking online but i am in the USA and any of the websites i have found that sell english show clothes for riders that small are in the UK and would cost me an arm and a leg. i want to maybe enroll her in a couple leadline classes at our small local shows this next show season. it would be fun for her to get to participate and of course it would be absolutely adorable to watch. i have a few months but i want to find places to get riding stuff for her now so im not scrambling when the time comes. i also dont want to spend a fortune since she will outgrow things.
she has an Ovation Deluxe Toddler Schooling Helmet that fits her well and is adjustable so should last a good while. even though someone is always there to catch her if something were to go wrong i want her to get used to always wearing a helmet when she is on a horse.
i cant seem to find any jodhpurs or boots that will fit her. i bought a size 2 tuffrider childs jodhpur to see if i could alter them to fit but if i stand them in front of her they go up to her shoulders so they will just sit in the closet until she is older. for now she is using a pair of tan colored leggings. if anyone has any ideas of where to find actual jodhpurs for her let me know.
her feet are teeny tiny. she wears a size 5 toddler shoe. i have looked around to try to find boots in her size (or even in a size 6 that she could grow into) at any of the stores in town that would even resemble a riding boot and have had no luck. does anyone have any ideas?
i found these on ebay. they are adorable but wouldnt work for a show. im thinking of getting a pair for her to have for everyday use. Disney Frozen Toddler Cowgirl Boots, Size 6, Gray, Lace up, NWB | eBay
also, any ideas of what i could use for a show jacket or where i could find something in a 2T size?
