Backing as in riding, or backing as in training? The horse is never too young to begin groundwork. In the first few hours it is born is the time the foal should begin its training.
However, I would not advise riding the horse as a yearling. Horses continue developing until they are about 7 or 8. 3 or 5 is the normal age to begin riding, although racehorses are started much younger (however, you see how this often turns out-with broken legs and dead horses because they are not mature enough physically)
2 is an OK age to begin riding, if you keep the lessons short (15-30 min), and at a walk.

∙ 13y agoNo! The yearling's body is not fully developed. However, you may begin training, just not riding until at least 2 and a half years.
not right you can ride just kids or jockey size cause they race Thoroughbred yearling races all the time and when riding keep a light saddle on but hevey if not hope i helped!
