Or girls for horses, or however you want to look at it.

Besides I have no place for a horse right now - not physically or mentally. That said, I would like for my girls to learn to ride once they get in their early teens and from a solid combined training instructor.

A Stubben?! They are the best saddles on earth. I loved mine (can still smell it, oh, what bliss)...but, had to sell it to help pay college tuition. I do still have my riding boots though!e.m.b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07745417913275444905noreply@blogger.com
