I haven't been on a horse in 52 years.....oh my.
I'm glad you're taking your niece. I think that's very important. When I was very young I asked my Dad constantly to take me riding. Being busy and not interested in riding, he never did. When I went to live with my Mom and step-dad, the first thing I asked was if they'd take me riding and, bless them, they did...immediately. I've never forgotten that. There may be other things they were not so good at, but I will always forgive them because they took me riding. My Dad was, years later, to feel very bad that I'd asked for that and he always said he'd take me, but didn't. From my point of view, it's important to take her if she's asked.You may not get the chance again,she may not get the chance again.
