Please help me?!?

İ have a saint bernard that weighs 106 kg’s and a 2 yr old sister that weighs 9 kg’s . She saw me riding my horse at the show and decided that she wants to do it so bad she’s crying all the time and stuff but my coach said that she’s too young and we have to wait at least two years!
So here’s the thing i’m going to teach her how to ride on my dog. My dog is very well trained . İtrained her to halt walk trot canter gallop and REAR=) She doesn’t buck yet=)
So i’m going to put a bare back pad on him made for miniature ponies and use a halti gentle leader collar with nose band and the training leash as reins. The pad had lightweight plastic stirrups .
İ talked to his vet and she said go for it your dog can carry up to 35 kg’s!!!!!
So what do you think about this ?? What should i do first? İ think i’ll lead her for while just make up some theories if you ride horse or train dogs please?

I wouldn’t just because at your sister’s young age, she may think all dogs should be ridden. It will be hard to separate your big lovable trained dog with some dog she sees at the park, and you don’t want her trying to hop on every dog she sees. Like your vet siad it probably won’t hurt your dog, but if you do it then only do it as long as it will tolerate it.

I think your sister will survive if she doesn’t get to ride anything. Two is young, and she should be learning to tolerate being told she can’t do everything she begs for. You can do whatever you want, but if you do this very time she begs you will end up with a very bratty kid.
