A few riding lessons for the (pony mad) girl

Did you clear this with the parents first? If she's that pony mad she will NOT want to stop after just a few lessons and that's a hobby that gets expensive fast.

(Speaking as a girl who started riding at age 9 with parents who hoped I'd grow out of it. Took my horse to college and rode on the university's riding team for a bit. See how well that whole "growing out of it" worked out.)

Does he like presents? Wrapped small toys can be a hit. Foods he doesn't get to eat often. Coloring books and crayons or markers are good.

My mom did this when she had to take my sister and I on a 12 hour road trip by herself when I was about that age. She went to the dollar store and got a bunch of cheap toys and wrapped them up and gave us a new present once an hour, so we'd get a new toy to play with once the novelty of the previous one had worn off. She says it saved her sanity.
