I would recomend to start lunging when the horse is three years old. If you do it any younger it can be hard on the horses muscles. If you want to do it younger than three then it's better to do a free lunge if you can. (Doing it without the lead rope). Hope I helped!

How much weight can a two year old horse handle?
The amount of weight a two year old horse can carry mostly depends on the size of the horse. A horse that is 14 hands high should be able to carry about 140 to 150 pounds. Answer 2: A horse should carry no more than 20% of it's own body weight, this includes tack and other items. A 1,000 pound (453.5 kg) horse for example should carry at the most 200 pounds (90.7 kg). 2 year old horses are not as physically strong as an older horse and the weight should be kept lighter to allow their joints to finish developing without strain.

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.
