..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.
