[RC] Kids, ponies and distance riding - KYielding

..I have heard of a well known rider back in the 80's ponying her child on
rides,and the child crying and screaming that they didn't WANT to ride!
Don't think just because you have not seen it, that it is not happening. I
hear parents say they feel they know what is best for their child. But do
you really, truly, think that EVERY parent, makes the best choices, and does what is "best" for their child??? If that was the fact, there would not be child welfare services. Some parents just shouldn't be parents....... Joni<<
 
I'd sure trust the parent taking their child on a horse over the parent pushing their 6 year olds into soccer camp or little league.  Parents already have lost too much control over raising their children and child welfare services make lots of mistakes.  Please, no age limits.
