Hi there i have two daughters, one is 7 the other 11 who would love to learn from you and your horses. We live in town in Palmerston north but can get to Rongotea easily.

Hi there
My 7 year old daughter would love to learn to ride. She has had the odd pony ride but we haven't been able to afford lessons. We are in Palmy with our own transport.
Thanks so much for offering this, it is a generous idea!

Her parents do not have her invovled in any hobbies or activites and she is really struggling at school, both in her work and socially. I think this would help her self esteem and social skills alot.

wondering if you are still offering this free riding lessons. We have seen you on the beach at Himatangi (I think). My 10 year old daughter is very interested in taking advantage of your generous offer.
Thanks

Hi, I see you are taking a break at the moment. I would really love to take up your offer of some riding lessons if you are still ok with sharing your time like this when your break is over. Our kids have had some lessons already (about 4 or 5 over the last year) as we can afford them, but I would love it (and so would they) if they could ride a bit more regularly. We homeschool so are pretty flexible about the time and day that we can come.

I have two girls 7 and 5 who would love to see horses up close, unsure if they would want a ride but just touching them would be exiting for them.
