I'm a grandma now to the most beautiful, most awesome girl ever.
She's 5 months old.
Anyway--I will be training Chloe and Gypsy to be lead-line mares for Jessie and other future grandchildren.
I assumed a saddle was the best way to go, but one whom I trust suggested using a bareback pad to avoid pinching. I've searched for those and found a nice one with a solid hand hold.
Another whom I trust strongly suggested going with the saddle to avoid slippage.
Before I invest, I wanted to gather all of your opinions--especially from those who have little riders. This will only be a lead line situation--no bridle involved.
Thanks for any direction you can supply!
