Sherral, my son went to a camp one year where he learned to ride. This included things like putting the halter, saddle, and bridle on the horse. Catching the horse in the pasture, brushing, and cooling the horse down after a ride. The kids also learned a lot of safety tips about handling horses. My son really liked it and really had a lot to tell me when he was home again. If your granddaughter doesn't already know how to ride, maybe something like this is a possibility for her?

Little girls and horses! The classic love story. She must have been thrilled. The daughter of friends got the "horse bug" at around ten. They couldn't afford lessons for her, but she started hanging around some nearby stables and doing odd jobs just to be around the horses. Eventually people boarding their horses there taught her to ride, and as a teenager she got to exercise several horses and just ride for fun in exchange for grooming the horses and mucking out stalls. She's 24 now, and co-owns a horse.
