we have a friend who has brought three daughters up riding. They
start out riding the old deadbroke walking horse in an adult saddle
while he ponies them, they sit sorta in a TV sitting position with
feet up and seem so happy and the horse is so gentle and good. Then
they gradually grow into the saddle and start actually riding the
horse and get a horse of their own. But he rides only on his fenced
land, only with people he trusts will bring gentle sensible horses and
he rides very very carefully. and they all wear helmets.
