RE: STRUGGLE – WHAT IT TEACHES US
Your daughter has chosen the best hobby in the world ;-)) However, I don't know how many good trainers you have to choose from...: the stirrups are far too short to sit comfortably when cantering and the saddle doesn't fit the horse or the petite person on top ;-))
I'm totally ignorant in this area. Thank you for your feedback.
I will, for sure, take up these points with the trainer next time.
Right now, she is studying for her send-ups! The matriculation system here. She is only 13.5 years and in 9th standard; a little young for her class. I hope she does well in the exams. I'm feeling more anxious than her 😟
Oh, my daughter skipped a few classes back then; she was always the youngest and smallest in her classes. And always set the tone ;-)) Working with the horses will be good practice for your daughter in dealing with the stronger ones.
Same here! Now in her teenage she is more of the same height as her peers. She would detest standing in the front during her assembly. The other girls would some time ask her to call them api😅. It's a tradition here to call elders respectfully and not by their names. So yes, she was always the smallest physically and age wise. But things are better now. She has learned to adapt and we learned our lesson too.
We didn't repeat the same mistake with our youngest two :)
The eldest one is always the test drive
😜
