Hi guys
My horse is 2 months away from turning 4, he is an unraced TB. Super level headed and relaxed, hunt season where I am (South Africa) is being delayed due to Covid etc, so when it starts my boy will be 4 years old.
I actually live on a hunt masters property, we hack a lot through the vineyards etc, have popped over a couple logs (actually just started), gone through puddles, my horse is un-phased, having my dog run around him on rides is also a non issue for him. He is probably the most calm baby TB I have ever met.
So while I think his mind is mature enough, and he will have an experienced hunt horse friend with him, I am just worried about him physically at his young age - is he too young? Should I do half the hunt to start? (I have permission to pull out half way if needed).
Also any tips would be amazing! TIA x
