What age should i start saddle/riding training my horse? ?
hes a TB and wondering when i should start riding/saddle training him?
ill be traning him in hunter/more jumpers. and he is a TB
I would recommend to not start riding him untill he is at least 3 years old. You could lunge him some at 2 and work on groudwork. I wouldn't jump anything till he is at least 4 and nothign big till at least 5.
The reason is most horses bones don't finish growing till they are about 5, sometimes even older. Their joints won't be closed yet and that can cause problems for your horse later on down the raod [arthirits, lameness, soreness, chips, joint problems]. That is why many racehorses get hurt, break down and come off the track so young because they are not done growing and are pushed to hard.
It is your choice, but it is puting your horse at risk when you start him young.
