I would bet your grandson has been riding much of his life - certainly for many years?
Gabriel started riding when he was about 13 I think, but we started with lessons right from the get go and the girl we chose is a dressage rider. Then he rode her ponies over fences for a couple of years before he got too big for them - he's not a big guy, only about 5'6", but too big for our Secion A ponies. Now he's a sometimes endurance rider on his Arab, Tali Sinjabi.. This story took on a twist when his older brother drove him to his lesson one afternoon, fell in love on the spot, and eventually married Ellie the dressage instructor. They have a second baby due 6/28. So be very careful when choosing riding instructors that you choose someone you would welcome into the family. In the case, we did well. Nancy
