Where Should My Horse Be When I Bring It?

We do not require any additional handling to be done. However if you do have your horse experienced in some areas before they arrive to be started under saddle it can speed up the training process. 

It helps if you can:

Catch, lead, tie, load, groom, and handle feet.

If you have the facility and capability to roundpen/ lunge your horse this can also be a bonus. However, if you are not experienced in doing this please refrain from doing so as it can unintentionally form habits that may need to be fixed. This applies to saddling also.

Why Does Horses Age Matter?

It's been a long time debate and personal preference as to when to start horses under saddle. As far as physical ability many studies have been held to observe how earlier starts under saddle correlate with career success and soundness. It has been found that "they have longer and more successful careers than horses that start later". Studies indicate that starting to train horses when young strengthens their bones and ligaments, making them more durable and less prone to injury later in life, with some research showing a lower risk of catastrophic injury in horses that start their careers at an earlier age. Provided below is links to multiple studies on this topic, and very interesting to read. Our personal experience is that horses started between 18 months and in their 2 year old year tend to retain training better, learn better, and tend to have significantly more successful careers. Horses age significantly faster in comparison to humans as shown in the chart below.

In a mental capacity, starting a 2 year old horse is the human equivalent as a teenager getting their first job.

When horses get out of that timeframe and start getting older 5 =23, 6 =25, 7 =28, 8 =30, etc.

It's similar to putting a person in their 20's and 30's whos never had a job in their life into bootcamp. They generally don't take to training as easily, and have a few extra hundred pounds to throw around.
