KG - I think where people got upset with your opinion was because they -or at least,
I
- thought you meant there was no problem getting on a two year old and driving it hard, as seen with the QH futurities, or racing (TB, I don't know if the QHs do it too).
I would buy a backed two or three year old, but I would forever be worrying about a horse that was a pro at the hard stuff by four. We have a four year old at the barn right now who has come to us almost as quiet as a horse more than three times his age. He was trained to be a roper and from all reports I've heard of his trainer, would have had the snot ridden out of him as soon as he could hold a saddle.
The man he was bought him from left him out in the field for a year so at least he did get that time off, but it's always in the back of my mind; what is that early work going to do to him?
Your program sounds like a good one though, and I'm sure that your horses do well with it
