#equine development

absolutely not. never, under any circumstances should a yearling be saddled.even a two year old isn’t developed enough to efficiently carry a rider. not to mention they have such baby brains at that age.a young horse may seem “big” but this doesn’t change the fact that their skeletal systems aren’t developed enough to begin work under saddle. this is especially true for larger breeds of horses, as they seem big but they actually take a longer amount of time to develop.
