Many children are lucky enough to get a pony at a very young age, 2 or less. Keep in mind however, that unless you have someone willing to take care of the pony for you, you need to be old enough to take care of it. That includes being able to operate a wheelbarrow and pitchfork to clean up your horses.... messes. You should also be big enough, strong enough and confident enough to lead your horse, do groundwork, and stand up for yourself if he gets pushy. You need to be able to bridle him yourself, saddle him yourself, and groom him yourself (this includes picking up and cleaning out his hooves) You also need to make sure you can afford a horse. They are very, very expensive. Their care is even more expensive than their initial purchase price was. So, if you cannot get a job and your parent's don't want to pay for it, then you need to wait until you can get a job to pay for it.
However, if you have someone able and willing to do some or all of these, then your age doesn't really matter.

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.
