I have two questions for anyone that can help me.
First one-how old does the horse have to be to beging breaking them for riding? I have been told two and one lady I spoke with said she would never break a horse before they were three.
Second question-Is it possible to do it yourself? I am afraid that if someone else breaks her, they may break her spirit as well. She is a wonderful horse with us, but can be a bit feisty. Thank you for any help you can give. Please don't think that I am crazy to want to break this horse myself. All my life I have wanted a horse. Now, i have the opportunity to handle one on my own and I'd like to try to do this with help from others but not by taking my horse away to a stable for months at a time.
