some people start training foals at the age of 2 or 3
A foal can be lunged in large circles at the walk at very early ages. However, a foal should not be put on small or fast circles until it is 2 or 3, as small fast circles cause alot of torc on joints, and will damage young horses knees more than it would an adult horse. Even at 2-3, the horse should not be lunged faster than a slow canter on at least a medium sized circle.

How old should a Haflinger be before breaking?
Well in general a horse of any breed should not be broke to ride before they are 3 years old. This is due to the fact that before the age of three most breeds of horses growth plates haven't "closed" yet. But you can work on the ground with a saddle on the horse at the age of 1 1/2 - 2 years old to get the horse use to being saddled. But there are a lot of different exceptions to this rule due to bone maturity of the horse, weight, height, etc. But a good rule of thumb is to ask your vet to check over the horse to see if he is ready to start getting under saddle.
