Gosh, let him grow up first before riding
him!!! Are his knees even closed? I know it's a trend to start
Quarter Horses at age two, and some even earlier.....but so much potential for
damange, physical AND mental. So many other things you can do such as
ponying out, trailering all over town, tying different places, ground manners,
verbal commands.
I'm not even a fan of lunging much at that age,
again, too much torque on growing joints....this subject came up some months ago
about when the joints mature in different breeds.....and the back is one of the
last areas to mature....
Does anyone here have any ideas for a very ROUGH
trotting quarter horse? He's 2, and we're just starting, doing a lot of
bending, circling to try to round him out. But he's so rough you can
hardly get yourself thru the excercise, any ideas????
