[QUOTE="Alice, post: 310283, member: 3873"] Absolutely wise words, Z. I'd never heard of the rule of 21...but it makes good sense. The horses I learned to ride on were awful...well except one, a ranch horse, and he was fantastic. The others bit and bucked and tried to lie down when I was on them. I knew that wasn't anything I wanted for my grandson...and what happened? The one I had that I was told would be perfect for him to ride playdays on reared up and fell over backwards with him on it. Thank God my grandson had the presence of mind to roll away from the horse when he git the groud. If I'd have had a gun, I'd have shot the horse right there in the arena...and I'm serious as a heartbeat about that. My grandson refused to get on a horse after that...and I didn't blame him a bit. Recently I bought an [b]old[/b] trail horse...don't know why other than I was sick of looking at calves and wanted my grandchildren to have something to take care of when the visited. That horse has been a Godsend. He is dead broke and my grandson actually felt comfortable getting on him, and that horse hasn't let us down. An old/experienced trail horse or ranch horse for kids is the way to go, in my opinon. Just had to get that off my chest. Alice [/QUOTE]
