Right or wrong?

Some people break at that age and then turn the horse away.. however I don't agree with it, My 3YO TB I had on loan last winter was broken at that age..
 
Its terrible to see ponies/horses like this, hopefully they will find a decent home , but yes I do think that Horsemart should take a little more responsibility in the pictures allowed, but then that doesn't actually stop whats being done to these ponies. So I'm not sure really.

But it does seem to me that there are alot of strange sellers that seem to flock to the horsemart site, with their strange pictures and incorrect spellings, makes you wonder how they ever sell anything!
 
omg she is way to big for that pony, especially that young. any good vet or physio will tell u the importance of staying off of a horses back until they are 4years old, so can do so much ground work with a youngster, so they r a dream to back when the time comes. grrr that ad got me angry!!

Looking at the pics on the shetlands and posted by her it is quite obvious these are being picked up at sales and sold on, but they look well enough and the prices are realistic...and I don't have a problem with light schooling for youngsters.
 
I don't really have a problem with 3 years old being lightly backed and then turned away for a good 6 months at least, but his rider's way too big and that won't be good for his back.
And the "still a bit green" part? Of course he is - he's not even 3!

Well i dont agree with the age its being riden at
HOWEVER about her size...
there isnt much chance that a smaller person that was experienced enough to break in an 11.3! I dont think she looks too big either. Her legs ar eonly a bit under its belly (although her top half is a bit bigger)
 
I don't think she looks that big on it - remember Welshies ae tougher than they look

I once had someone shouting at me for being to big to sit on a pony I was backing - once I'd taken off the thick jacket and bodyprotector I looked a lot lighter

Doesn't anyone else think that he is a little small for a sec c, even at his young age?
