What age do you start breaking a horse to ride?
What do you start out with? Bit (what type)? Hackamore? Other?
When you finally add a saddle, do you put on a certain type?
Just curious since there's a foal coming and I think we just may keep him/her. Although I'll have plenty of help, I'd just like to know your opinions.
I don't know what discipline, I figure we'll just see what the horse is happiest with. I don't want to start too early and risk careless injury.
Thanks.
