[RC] Little boys and riding. - vjhogenMy son is 5 yrs old and has started riding with me. He is currently riding an older Arabian in a western pony saddle. I have been searching the archives for info on children's saddles, but what I am looking for is a saddle that might be a little bit big right now, but he can grow into later.(Not 10 yrs later tho) My preference would be something that has an adjustable tree. I have an arab gelding that I currently ride, both arabs in our family are narrow. The horse that I eventually see my son riding is our very large paint gelding. (Massive muscle, needs a sign on his Butt that says " wide load") So I am wanting to ge
t a saddle that will fit my son securely, comfortably, and fit any of our horses comfortably. I ride a specialized saddle and am loving it. I would just like some feed back on different saddle choices. I would also like some advice on what little boys are comfortable riding in. His dad acted like it was the most horrible thing in the world when I mentioned buying some riding tights. So then my son said, "Mom, people will laugh at me" I have been letting him wear his wranglers, and have noticed little rub marks on the inside of his knees. I asked him where he got them and he said "I don't know" So I am assuming it is from the denim. So what are some of our up and coming jr. boys doing? There isn't a large selection of boys breeches to be found either. Any info would be much appreciated.
