He was two in May, so 27-28 mos old. Too young IMO but who listens to me. He's 15.3 hands.
I thought he was just around 2. Too young, IMO, too except for just short periods of easy riding, physically speaking, but it will be good for him mentally. He'll learn what his purpose is, before he develops a mind of his own.
I agree too, her seat isn't the best, but for her too, short periods on him, in a confined area won't hurt. Practice is all it takes. Can she ride a different one that isn't so green so she can work on that without the added worry of a green one?
