How Young is too Young to Start Breaking?

No, I really do not get the "break when they are x years old". Mine are broken from 6 months old through to six years, and I hope their future owner will continue their education! So hopefully, they are never broken but they will be thoroughly trained!

That's a really good way of looking at it. I've had her in a trailer and she doesn't mind it at all. Those pictures are fantastic! Your youngsters look like nothing could phase them! Oh and the one with the umbrella is just too perfect :')

Could you not teach some tricks in the meantime before you back her? Just a thought to fill time as such. She is absolutely gorgeous. She's got such kind eyes. Good luck keeping her clean though haha :) Whatever you do, just have fun with her. Ignore the ignorant and unwanted comments.

Awh thank you. She's an angel but she loves finding the worst parts of the paddock to roll in! Yes one of the girls on my yard said I should teach her some tricks cause she has the temperament for it!
And thank you, I do tend to get a bit defensive :P

sorry if that came across as rude,i did not mean it to.
reading the post it seems to me you bought something that mis-matched your needs.

That's fine. It just came off quite condescending is all.
mounted games was my main intention when I bought her but it's not the be all and end all. I'm big on cross country and I love jumping and dressage too so she will not be wasted. There will be something that we can enjoy together. As I've said somewhere here, I ride for fun, not competition so once we're both having fun that's all I care about :)
