Hi, I am new to this interesting forum. I own 3 fjord mares, 9, 5 and 3
years old.
I would like to hear your opinions on when (at what age) you start your
young horses to ride and/or drive. Fjords mature late - so I start mine
later at 3.5-4 years of age, but don't really ask a lot of them until they
are 5-6 years old.
But recently I read about a fjord, that was ridden at age 2...
Looking forward to hearing from you
Juliane
