How old were you when to started riding? Not your first ride, but when you started riding regularly or taking lessons etc.

I was about 8. But then I stopped riding for a while when I was nine, and then started again when I was twelve. I've been actually improving and learning for two years-I don't think I learned too much when I was little.

Hmm...I was 10 years old!

9-10.. I'm not really sure which one but it was around there, hah.

I was 7 or 8.. somewhere in the age bracket. But it wasn't really serious.
When I was about 12 that's all I wanted to do.

My aunt had a shetland pony mare named Ginger. I started riding that pony (with help) when I was just 2-3 years old!

I loved that pony....in fact, I named my first horse Ginger when I became an owner at 22
