Thats what i am looking for too! something about 8 yo or more. And like wise, all i can find is "experienced" 4/5 yo's!
Also people seem to be breaking general riding horses so young. I have seen 3yo's advertised as broken as 2 year olds, turned away, professionally schooled, done a seasons hunting, done xc/sj/dr clinics etc, ready to event!
What happened to the good old breaking a horse at 3, turning it away for a good 6 months, letting it develop, grow and mature and then slowly bring it on so that by 5 its ready to go. Or am i just old fashioned?!
