Thanks for the quoting tip. She's not started under saddle yet - she just turned 2 in April, and she's kind of a small horse. I've sat on her once or twice for about 3 minutes, but we didn't go anywhere. I am planning on waiting until fall to lightly start her. It would be nice to show her as a 3-year-old, but I don't have major showing ambitions. Mostly my concern is to start her slowly enough to put a correct training foundation on her and give her plenty of time to grow without too much strain on her body.
I didn't start riding either of mine till they were three. I just did under saddle work in the round pen and some ponying on some trails. After a while I did some ground driving. Starting them slow is the way to go!!! (Ima poet and didn't know it!!!)
