Is it legal to stay in your vehicle while the car is running in a Fire Lane-No Parking zone for a short period of time?
Yes!! I started taking ridding lessons when I was 9. I continued for the next 8 years. My ridding teacher grew up on a farm with horses. She started ridding (with her father holding her in his lap) before she could walk. She could ride on her own by the time she started kindergarten. My only concern would be for you to find a reputable stable and a teacher who has experience with kids his age. Also, if you plan on buying a horse for him, wait to make sure he actually likes horses and ridding enough to devote time to his horse. If he's not into it, having a horse won't teach him much. Also, remember that he will hit the teen years soon. I quit ridding because I was too distracted with High School, friends, and boyfriends to have time for horses anymore. If you buy him a horse, you will most likely be the one to take care of it for the next 20 years. Make sure you are willing to do that before making the commitment.
Of course. I know so cowboys that started riding when they were around 5,6,7! 10 is a great age. Maybe a little to late. If your teaching him yes(you have experience right?) or at a local barn taking lessons.
Yes, if you feel 10 is the age then that will work. My son is 4 and I will let him ride by himself in the paddock, but if we are out on the trail he is aboard with dad. Of course he is wearing a helmet at all times when riding a horse. Safety is key.

So, if these People in swimsuits haven't been black-listed as yet then that means as the first answer states you may be a little insecure.
I started riding when I was five, at my barn they start them at six. My suggestions are to invest in a couple of safety items. Gloves - children's hands are not a tough or closed as adults and he may get large painful blisters other wise Helmet - well the phrase It's a life saver rings a bell Riding vest - this is a protective vest that should cover from thecollarr bone to the end of the ribs in the front and from thebeginningg of the spinal colom to the tailbone in the back. this is helpful in protection of any fall but mainly spreads the impact to other places. were your son to fall and land on a fence or a log, even to get stepped on by the horse this vest will distributee the force so that it is less likely to break or crack his ribs or back and more likley to bruisese them. I never ride without mine and it literaly saved my life when I fell back first on a pole and my 18.2 hand horse fell on top of me. my entire back was brused for weeks but they told me that where it not for that vest I woud be paralised from the neck down if not dead. I hope that this helps and that my story did not scare you out of leting him ride, it is one of the few true joys in my life. Hope this helped!!!
