I don't really know where to start with this one. I bought my two sons a shetland pony called fudge last winter, if I'm honest with myself I thought it would be a good idea to get get them interested in something that I also enjoy and he kind of was the pony I never had as a child.
When I got him he was the perfect lead rein pony, gentle with the kids never bucked or messed around until last night!
After a bit of a lunge my first little jockey aged three climbed aboard only to have his wellies bitten off on both sides, my other son (5)has no interest in riding since he fell off last year. My two kids are not that confident so I don't want them to have a bad experience on him. I'm scared my husband will make me sell him if the kids don't become interested.
Any suggestions to how I can get my kids to love this sweet little chap that I love so much even if its not riding him?
