I’m coming to this way of life late, I guess. I’m 46, healthy and have a 6 month old Belgian Draft horse from a breeder in Belgium.
We have other horses and ride and drive them. But, my new Belgian is a big project for me. The only training I am doing with him at the moment is groundwork, getting him used to the commands.
Out other horses were trainer to drive from the age of two and ridden from three. For us, any earlier than this would have caused us problems, I belive.
Each horse is different and each teasmster works differently. Knowing your horse is probably the best guide when you can begin adding weight and/or responsibility.
