Your Mustang seems a little underpowered.

I have yet to see anybody make any money out of these underpowered mustangs (loved that one) to get stuff from out the back unfortunately you have to put stuff in the front of them.

With our foals we would spend as much time with them when born as we could
It puts an imprint like they do with the mare / mother.. Much, much easier to break in etc.. Lifting its legs and checking its hooves etc Makes a far better horse latter..

Awww how lovely =) Quote:
I had a Thoroughbred who had excellent imprinting from a foal and that horse at only 7years old was a complete and utter gentleman. Extremely obedient, well mannered, well trained and very well behaved under saddle. My next horse will be one Ive purchased at a weanling so I can get all the handling in by the time he's ready for breaking at 3/4yrs. |

My son and i were actually midwives at the birth 3 am mind you. The ladies were away at a nag show. So "minnie" has been handled since birth so much so that we we walk into the paddock she runs up to us ready for a play.

You can however train them to accept being tacked up at 18 months, but I would not recommend sitting anyone on a young horses back until at least 2.5 yrs old. |

Yea I wasn't meaning a heavy bastard [like myself lol] ride them but light people can..
Plenty of 2 year old races around... Mouthing etc can be done without riding them.. Plus a well looked after horse doesn't need breaking in like the westerns / cowboy movies....

Plenty of 2 and 3 year old racers breaking down too.......
Broke my two in as 3 and 5 year olds (5 year old had a hip injury at 4 from altercation between another horse, her and a fence post plus strangles at 3) Broke the 3 year old in early as he was a arrogant little colt come gelding that needed more experience to train then i had at the time!! |

Much much easier to break in a younger horse... It's older horses 4,5 year old that get splints etc from racing... Or over racing...
