Youngsters and horse walkers

[Switchthehorse]

What are peoples thoughts on 2yo's on horse walkers?

My youngster needs to build some muscle after a few growth/injury challenges. The yard have a walker, my other nag goes on it, why not put baby on it too for 30 mins maybe 3-4 days a week

When i mentioned this to a couple of friends they were aghast, too much pressure on legs, too much pressure walking on tight circle etc etc

Who's right!????!

Thanks!!

No way, sorry - too much strain on joints walking in circles I'm afraid & 30 minutes is a long time for a 2 year old to be doing anything...

If he needs exercise then in hand walking or at the very most 10 mins loose schooling

I wouldn't - far too much physical and psychological stress on youngster. Can you put him in a hilly field instead?
