when your horse is ready, if the horse is green broke at 4, then give them a year, and you should never start backing a horse (training to saddle) before the age of 3 b/c they haven't developed enough
Any horse, filly, colt, mare, gelding etc. you can start training when they are born, working on basic ground manners, loading into trailers, trying, standing for the farrier, etc. To start riding a horse you can start at the age 2 1/2 years old.
Generally, younger horses have more energy and may be faster, while older horses may have more experience but can start to slow down due to aging. However, individual training, genetics, and overall health can also significantly impact a horse's speed regardless of age.
The answer to this question will depend on exactly how you meant it. If you meant which breed of horse rarely stays black as they age? then many breeds could fit that description, such as the Lipizzaner, they start out bay or black and turn grey as they age, but a few will remain dark. If you meant it as in, which breed of horse will stay black? Then there are several breeds as well, such as the Friesian.
The opposite of a female horse would be a male horse. A young male horse, under the age of four, is called a colt. An adult male horse, over the age of four, that has not been castrated is called a stallion or a stud. An adult male horse, over the age of four, that HAS been castrated is called a gelding.
A grown female horse is called a mare, a grown male horse is called a stallion, a foal is a colt (male) or filly (female)
No but make sure they have enough energy and stuff like that :D
I think that all you have to do to compete is be able to ride and start going to small competitions when your about your age. there are many competitions for people aged 15 to 18 so you have two years to learn all the basics etc and then when your 15 you can compete in the big competitions, just keep practicing! XD
In horse showing, there is no age restriction to show a medium pony. However, typically ponies are shown by children and small adults in competitions.
Your horse has to be trained well if it is a stallion (a male that has not been castrated). You have to ask the people in charge of the competition about the age requirements. If it is a mare (a female) and in heat, your horse has to be at least 3, 4, or 5.

Your horse needs to be fully grown, and medically well but different horse competitions allow different ages. Look at the website for the race or ask someone that is an expert on that particular race/event/competition.

Start out with a bosal or side pull and once your horse is respoding to pressure introduce a light snaffle or D ring bit to your horse keeping it not too tight but not too loose in their mouth.Since you normally start riding a horse at the age of 2 then perhaps the age 3 or 4 your horse may be ready for the bit. Don't rush it. You should be able to feel how your horse is working and when he is ready to move on.
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.
At 2-3 years of age a horse will reach sexual maturity, thus able to breed.

as soon as you are old enough to ride
