For your safety we do not "double ride."  If you have a small child he/she will need to be hand led.  Call for more information.  See article below for further details:

Two persons riding on a horse's back disperse the weight of the riders in areas in which the horse is not accustomed to carry weight. This gives additional weight over the lumbar area. the weakest part of the horse's back and the most susceptible to pain for the horse.

When riding double, the second rider's legs hang down by the horse's flanks, an area which is naturally sensitive in which most horses are not accustomed to being touched.

Both the additional weight and the wider area of weight bearing changes the balance of the horse, subjecting the horse to increased chance of tripping and falling.

Additional weight increases fatigue in the horse. increasing the above chances of accidents.

Both riders may not move in the same motion nor at the same time which movements give confusing signals to the horse.

Some horses tolerate riding double: at a walk or slow trot, but many will buck when they are asked to lope, canter or gallop.

Most saddles are not made for riding double, which leaves one rider without the security of the saddle seat or stirrups.

Riding: double distracts both the rider and the horse.

Riding double increases the fatigue of the rider.

When riding double, the rider has less control by signals or by reins of the horse.

If riding double has increased risk, riding double with a child increases this risk:

The child would be the rider without stirrups or place in the saddle.

If the child rides behind the saddle, the child cannot see without leaning to the side increasing the chances of falling from the horse or decreasing the balance of the horse.

If the child rides behind the saddle, the- child has the responsibility of holding onto the adult rider in the saddle. This puts responsibility to prevent the fall on the strength and attention of the child.

If the child rides in front of the adult, this places him/her between the rider and the reins decreasing control of the horse and interferes with the attention to the horse by the adult rider.
