You don't need to trawl Italian websites to find that sort of thing - there's plenty of ride and drive babies for sale in the UK ..
Haven't you found Dragon Driving yet?

What is this trend for breaking and driving foals and youngsters? Has the world gone mad?

I agree race horses are ridden far too young, but at least they're usually in good condition unlike this poor baby.

because they hear that a horse is worth more if its broken... and lack the common sense that means you should wait until the normal time to break it!
