How old should a child be to ride on a horse alone?
<|assistant|>
According to guidelines set by the American Association of Equine Practitioners, a child should not ride a horse alone until they are at least 8 years old, unless they have completed a comprehensive horse-handling and safety course. Generally, children should also be physically capable of handling and controlling a horse, and should be able to communicate well with other riders and horses.
