Re: [RC] children's riding s tuff - Chris PausWe probably can do sweat pants or workout pants... He is fine with helmets and boots... oh why is my granddaughter 600 miles away, LOL chris --- Melissa <melisamk@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hi Chris My 11yr old rides his horse with me. The helmet is grudgingly worn with alot of grumbling - but he REFUSES to wear riding pants (he calls them girlie tights). We compromised- he wears sweat pants or wind/nylon workout pants (no inside seams). Even THAT was battle. They sell them at Wal-Mart. Good luck! Hey, any input from male endurance riders out there to give us some helpful hints to give to our "macho- concerned with image") sons would be GGGGRRRRReatly appreciated. thanks in advance, Melissa/ MN ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Paus To: ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2004 7:22 PM Subject: [RC] children's riding s tuff My 8Yo grandson is thinking he wants to start doing some distance riding with me. He's got a nice horse, saddle that fits him and the horse, but I need to get him out of his jeans and into some riding britches... anybody got boys who ride? What kind of pants do they ride in? Anything particularly "cool" for a boy this age?? he doesn't object to wearing a helmet, but I'm not sure if I can push it as far as riding tights, LOL chris ===== Chris and Star BayRab Acres http://pages.prodigy.net/paus ============================================================ Arabians were bred for years primarily as a war horse and those requirements are similar to what we do today with endurance riding. ~ Homer Saferwiffle ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================ ===== Chris and Star BayRab Acres http://pages.prodigy.net/paus ============================================================ I still prefer what it is that BH100, Tevis, The Duck's Soup of Endurance, etc. has to offer...but, to see a horse canter over sand for those distances...Good Lord, it humbles me. ~ Frank Solano ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
