Not Appropriate For Dressage!
by Wandrwoman (3 out of 5 stars)
December 30, 2010

Please note that this Daddle is Western Style and will not be appropriate for those trained in the English Father Riding Method whereby one holds a rein in each hand and posts the trot. If you are looking forward to father jumping, father fox hunting, father polo or daddy dressage you will not be able to use this Daddle. Western Daddle riders hold the reins with one hand, and sit the trot. The pommel or horn on this Daddle is meant to hold a lariat which is useful when roping cattle or other competing or unruly fathers.

Work around for shoulder harness
by Richard E Heilman (3 out of 5 stars)

Got this for my Grandchildren and Son-in-law. Not sure he will appreciate it though. One strap was not connected for the shoulder when I opened the package. The plastic part that was supposed to connect the strap to the saddle blanket was missing. Couldn't return it because my daughter had told the kids I had a surprise for them. Worked out ok because I used key rings for the attachment pieces and added shoulder pads from some camera straps to the shoulder harness. If the part hadn't been missing would have given more stars.

Got this some time ago. My granddaughter is now old enough to use it, and she LOVES it. Only suggestion is a slightly longer waist cinch (for Dad bodies)

The prefect gift for your little cowboy or cowgirl

I was looking for plumbing supples and mis-typed (s)daddle and stumbled upon this. My grand daughter's first birthday was coming up, and this was the best gag gift ever!

My son is a big ol' horse of a guy anyway (6' 4" and built like a linebacker), and we all had a lot of laughs when this got opened up and he put it on. I'm sure she'll have a lot of fun with this.

It was okay until that fateful day...
by Wayfinder (4 out of 5 stars)

The daddle is a unique and interesting device. My kids loved it, we shot some videos and it took some stress off my back.

That is... until the fateful day my wife bought the boy some spurs. I should have known something wasn't right when I first heard that "jingle jangle jingle" as he came striding merrily along. But I wasn't fast enough; when he hopped on my back and kicked me in the sides, I about came unglued.

It wouldn't have been so bad if the spurs weren't the "long-star" pointy type.

Fortunately we have a 10 ft. ceiling in the living room, because the rotten kid's head came within four inches of it the first kick. He didn't have time for a second when unthinking, I stood straight up, forgetting the "child" attached to my back.

To his credit he managed to hang on. That was when I regretted allowing the children to put a belt around my neck to simulate a bridle. I nearly popped eye sockets when his fists clenched that belt and his full weight was applied to my trachea. That did have the effect of dropping me back down to the floor pretty quickly. This would have been the end of it, except for the fact that this offspring from Hades (apparently enjoying the experience) decided to spur me again, somewhat harder this time. It's a good thing I was wearing trousers or I'd have left little horsie patties all over the living room.

Have you ever tried to remove a child from your back when he's attached by saddle and stirrups? Suffice to say I now understand and fully sympathize with how a bucking bronco feels. Being somewhat more intelligent than a horse (although in retrospect I am thinking not that much smarter), I laid down and rolled, careful to try not to crush the boy. That did not prevent him from digging in the spurs a third time, which caused me to sit straight up and threw him over my head, where fortunately my easy chair cushioned his fall.

No, we haven't stopped using the Daddle. But I do conduct a thorough inspection of feet prior to any and all rides. The belt is now attached to the Daddle directly rather than going around my neck, and my wife has been kindly and politely asked to never, ever again buy an [expletives omitted] set of spurs or in fact anything, ever again, for our kids, without my direct knowledge.

On the positive side, after watching that display my daughter no longer wants a real life pony.

A great gift! My baby is 1 years old and just learning how to sit on it and hold on, but she loves horsey-daddy and this just completes the experience. Well made and adjustable for the littles- does not have a safety harness to keep them IN the saddle though. Leg strap length adjustable to move the stirrups up for the feet.
