Re: RC: Breaking two year olds to ride

[Lif Strand <fasterhorses@gilanet.com>]

Lynette - I asked if Bazy has a rider on the horses back working for
hours.  The quote says  "we don't do anything to tax
their joints. The early riding is very slow and quiet".  I can't see
where slow, quiet rides of say, 15 minutes or half an hour (possibly
longer) would be terrible for some 2 year old horses.  On the other
hand,  even slow, quiet rides could cause problems if they go on for
hours, or are over rough or steep terrain.  The answer is not evident
from the full quotation in the original email.  That's why I asked the
question.   Lif
