It really was the best thing my mom did for me as a child. Once you're in the horse world, there's no time to do anything else. No time to get in trouble or hang out with the wrong crowd at school, etc. It will teach her confidence, patience, trust, it's just an amazing world to be a part of. She is going to get thrown, she is going to get bit and stepped on, but as long as she gets back in the saddle, that's all that matters.
And may I suggest if you plan on buying a horse for her, lease before you buy! We leased Blackie 3 years before my mom finally bought her for me.
