Dulcie, I don't know. I do think the instructor was trying to be nice and give her a second chance. I mean she behaved pretty well for the rest of the week. Not a single complaint anywhere. But it was probably because her dad was there the whole time.
I don't mean it ugly, but if she had gotten hurt on the road (thank the stars she didn't) that could have been a huge problem for the barn. It would've been better to not allow her back.
@Wander, I agree. She needs a stern lesson in how that could have seriously hurt her or others and that isn't acceptable behavior.
Yeah, even then it could have ended pretty bad. She was literally sitting in the middle of the road. She could have easily been hit if a driver wasn't paying attention.
Yeah, I think it depends on the kid, or if there is someone qualified to be working with a kid with special needs and horses. At this barn there was not though. It was just your average lesson barn. I don't think she had any mental issues though, she was just bratty. It wasn't the first time the police was called on her too apparently 😳
dip i think there should genuinely be an age minimum to be around horses. or at least mental maturity/ parents who have worked with horses. children are less domesticated than the horses
Like I said, Beepers, she can't be trusted to do that correctly, she doesn't ride on anything more than a leadline (and that's just to keep parents happy that she's getting saddle time).
July that reminds me of the time I helped out at a horse camp one summer. One of the kids (she was like 9 or 10) was mad her riding time was over and didn't want to learn tacking. The barn was right by a super busy road and she bolted out into the road and just sat there.
Long story short, she was dragged back, bit another volunteer, and we had to call her parents and the police.
Same here. Thats a major issue we've found, which is why we incorporate so much of it into our lesson program. One of our lesson kids just got her own horse and started boarding it with us too (my friend went with her to look at the horse even), so they're super excited to start their training journey together. The mare is SOOO sweet; skittish, but sweet.
