What age is too young or too old for horseback riding?
Horses are good for children and adults. There are many reasons why a child should learn to horseback ride or way an adult should get out and follow their dream. Riding is a great way to get away from TVs, cell phones, game consoles or computers! Riding lesson can be a step towards a lifelong activity that benefits both body and soul. The age a child starts is basically dependent on the child development. Usually by 7 or 8, I find they can handle their horses. Younger children can benefit too but its more of a “pony ride” for them.
