My boyfriends family are due to move to the UK from Iran next week and are all devout Muslims. His parents, sisters and brothers will be staying in our 2 bedroom semi initially while they sort out their benefits. I need to try to keep them occupied while my boyfriend is at work and I think horse riding could be the answer. I have been told that horses are almost none existent in Iran and this would be a great culture shock for them to ride a great British horse. However, the females of the family insist on wearing a full burkha. Would this cause problems while horse riding? The family do not speak much English so this may cause a problem but I have tried to draw some picture cards in preparation for their arrival - does anyone have a suggestion which picture I could use to comminicate the idea of mounting a horse? Any ideas?
