My daughter is 3 1/2 and is desperate to ride ponies. Is this too young?

As long as your daughter can understand instruction from a riding instructor then she should be ok. Both my daughter and I ride - she started riding around 4, when I felt that her spine was developed enough to sit correctly in the saddle. She should also never ride alone at this age and should be "lead" by an adult as horses can be very unpredictable. We have had years of fun riding and I am sure your daughter will also.

If you intend sending her to a riding school then you will need to ask them on their lower age limit, many are 5 for insurance puposes.
I have my own horses and my 20 month old rides reguarly, you are never to young to start.
