hi
wearing a knee brace while riding should be covering both knee and leg upto anke, but that would make her to keep her knee and leg straight, i wonder if she would balance on horse back with only one leg in stirrup,you may tryit although, keeping horse pace in walking speed only at first, untill used to controlling horse by practice.
