He announced this weekend that he wants to learn to ride. He wants to be friends with a big nice cuddly horse, that he can pet and hug and ride.
He loves animals. Wont hurt a spider, and has his room full of teddy bears.
His outlook is perhaps romantic.
Mine is realistic. We live near riding stables where he can get lessons.
But I am allergic to horse hair. So practically, I reckon his dad will take him, and get all his clothes in the wash straight away, while he heads for the bath. Or am I overcautious?
How many boys ride for sports? It seems to me to be something girls his age love.
He goes to gymnastics classes, and he is the only boy, but again, he loves it, and they say he is really good.
But horse riding? Where did that come from?
