It could be a good confidence builder, IMO, as long as she doesn't take a hit. She's such a new rider, if she takes one at this stage, it could also be a confidence breaker....I don't mean to be negative, but I think hits during the learning stage of most riders, makes them shaky on any horse...
I've always worried about new riders, at any age, getting turned off of riding because they were riding more horse then they were ready for. Of course there are a few people out there who can raise above anything....I"ve always been jealous of those types...it doesn't take much to set me back:)

Any more, I think I'm led and limited by fear, I think it's genetic, because I've not been really hurt in a long time. I've become my dad. Tiff has never had fear, and she's learned everything she knows on the bumpy road. Go figure :~)
