Bagpuss 0 Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 No offense Mate but I would have thought 2 yrs old was a little young for riding or driving, I could understand getting him used to the cart but surely he's not mature enough for work yet? Link to post Share on other sites

Guest wayne Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 No offense Mate but I would have thought 2 yrs old was a little young for riding or driving, I could understand getting him used to the cart but surely he's not mature enough for work yet? no offence taken,me granda has had horses all his life,and brakes all his own horses in and when the shetland was a yearling he said we'll wait until he's nearly 2 and we'll brake him in he'll be ready as he was really quiet for a stallion so i trust his judgement and he's not worked as such he is execised on the cart every weekend and i might ride him out a couple of times aweek after school,(just to exercise him)what age would you brake a horse in like? DONNY C,me dad paid £800 for the quad from a ATV supplier at wolsingham he also does trade ins and has second hand ones. Link to post Share on other sites
Border Terrier 0 Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 2 years is a good time to start them off, but really you want to start them on short light lessons either riding or driving and then turn them away to mature for a while. horses/ponies arent fully matured til they are 5 years old and many a good horse or pony is ruined by too much work too young, it puts strain on joints, backs etc its the same as working dogs really if you do too much too young with a pup you can risk sickening them. good luck selling him tho he is a fine looking little pony Link to post Share on other sites
