Blake does real well on her, and I don't mean to take away from his abilities, but I wouldn't trust a kid his age on just any horse. We don't let him do playday events on her. She's too young and not solid enough on them. She could either get confused and then get stupid, or it could mess her up in the learning process. His other grandparents have an older horse that he does that sort of thing on. He's not a real aggressive rider like some kids are, but he does pretty good. I think if he took a bad fall at this point, it might set him back some. He's been riding now for about 2 years.

I love your pictures! Pretty area, darling boy and nice horses. Who could ask for more?
Well, it looks like he's doing just great.
I think our Cyn would do real well with a child up... Better than Bay even... Bay is very careful when there's a child on, but he doesn't listen to them. I have to lead him and he won't let them turn away from me. He just turns and comes right back. Cyn, you just point and she goes. She's not as spooky as Bay is, she's steady as a rock. But she'd be hard for a child to handle from the ground. I guess any of them are... they're just so big. Under most circumstances... I fear for kids under hoof more than I do once they're up.
