We never back our horses until they are at least three years old, sometimes later. As much as we can, we allow our horses to live naturally. From the time they are born, they have large hilly pastures to run in and streams and ponds to drink from. We usually wean late, leaving the foals with the broodmare bands until they are almost a year old. Studies have shown this to beneficial for the young horses (builds good horse sense and self-esteem), and as the broodmares have plenty of feed, it doesn't stress them. In the course of their lives they learn to deal with deer and elk, coyotes badgers and porcupines, handle rough ground, cool off in ponds, evade gopher and badger holes, jump the ditches and rocks --- you know --- just how to be horses. The later after they have matured they learn to be our companions and helpers. So if you think that being started right means being left to be a horse (under supervision) maybe one of our bunch would suit you. If you like to start your horses earlier than 3 or 4 years, these guys have still had a good beginning. |
