It's not so much age as it is height and weight. I'm 5 foot tall and can ride a 13 hand horse but I'm light weight also. So long as the horse isn't carrying more than 20 % of it's own body weight and the riders legs sit in the correct place age won't matter.
2 years is best but if you would like to ride it younger 8 month won't hurt . but for the first mount you have to ride the horse for about 3-5 muinites leats on you can ride it for longer , and longer and so on.
It depends on the horse. If I were starting a Quarter Horse from a young age, I would work from the ground until the horse was at least three years old, maybe four.
there is no age to riding horses and you do not have to have a license
Well it doesn't matter what breed your horse is, the average age to ride horses is between 3 to 20 years of age but if your horse has any medical problems like arthritis it might not be able to be ridden as long.
a horse has to be 2 years of age before you get them broke
No, it will be too young to be broken in :)
Any age, just wear a riding helmet and PROPER boots, and preferably have an adult present. Asking when you can ride a horse is like asking 'when can i sit on a space hopper?' what ever age you want, just take care!
as soon as you are old enough to ride
A horse should not be ridden before the age of three. This is detrimental to the horse's health, and will cause severe problems in the future. The best time to start training a horse under saddle is when the horse reaches the age of four, when the joints of the animal have properly set.
Not knowing if you mean the age of the horse or the riders age. Both will be answered here. A rider can ride until physically unable to do so, there is no age limit. As long as a horse is healthy and physically able to bare weight, it can be ridden. Well, you don't really have to stop at a certain age. But maybe when your old and can barely walk. But I say if the horse is fine, you can ride. So when ever you feel like stopping is the age.
Yes! Mainly, you can ride a horse at any age, but the best time to ride is when you are young. I've known many riders who've started riding at all kinds of different ages, from 2 - 98!
You can NOT ride a horse or a pony at a year old. You will will cause serious damage to their growing body. A large horse is not done developing until 6-8 years of age and a small horse/pony is not done until 4-5 years of age. People how ride their horses before this time most likely will end up with horses that are arthritic and will not live very happy lives.
