Sianna & Cessna – 3 Year Old Girl Riding 16.3 Hand Horse
“Short vidoe of my 3 year old daughter Sianna riding Cessna a 6 year old Thoroughbred / Draft Cross mare. She is 16.3 hands. Cessna is my husband’s horse, but this summer Sianna’s horse came up lame (not Lady) and we had to improvise…Sianna does awesome with Cessna and even though we have Lady back Sianna has continued to ride Cessna. They are now riding in the big arena with out any assistance at all. To all that have commented about the helmet. Sianna is required to wear a helmet every time she rides. She was riding Lady right before we did this video and I missed it that she took the helmet off. It was super hot and she must have set the helmet by the gate. Please keep the comments on this video professional and no bad language. Thank you.” What did you think?

I loved watching this little lady riding the horse with the wind blowing her hair. Just fabulous

Safety first. She did not rap the lunge line around her hand, so she could not have her hand caught should the horse bolt. Smart, safe. She rode with one hand on the reins so if she had to pull up sharply, her other hand could take up the slack. Smart, safe. She exudes great confidence. Smart, safe. She is one of the most graceful riders I’ve seen at a trot. Yes, the horse is well trained; Sianna is only three…wait till she’s four. Well done Sianna and Cessna!

A tribute to the horse’s trainer as much to the child.
Reminds me of Beryl Markham.

I also rode a “big” horse at the age of 4 and though my mom was scared, my dad just put me on and I had hold of the mane, no reins. it was fun, and I remember that day like it was yesterday….and that is 74 years ago…. so these memories are wonderful to have and to keep….

This is obviously a very well trained horse. . .it was a real treat to watch a pint-sized girl put this horse through the paces.
As we all know, there is nothing quite like a girl and her horse.

A 16.3 horse is BIG! Personally, I think she should start riding with smaller horses. I’m glad the horse was cooperative.

Ridiculous. Children even ride in rodeos.

Sianna is doing what I’d be doing if I were young again, learning to ride a horse. They’re such beautiful animals, so intelligent and elegant. Thank you for that video. Some day Sianna may be able to complete in the Olympics.

Totally, totally irresponsible – mother seriously endangering the childs life – mother needs re-educating.

That was amazing to watch a 3 year old manage a horse like a Pro. Well done Sianna, that was truly amazing. Thank you for sharing and God Bless.
