Horse growing up

Question
I bought a small horse and i want to know how should i treat him? how can i make him love me since he's still young? last is starting from what age can i ride him

Answer
Hi - first, when you say 'small' do you mean young or small as in size?   As for treating it - I'm not sure what you mean. If you can clarify that I'd appreciate it.

A great way to bond with any horse is to spend time with it.  From grooming to just hanging out - if it is too young for saddle work, you could always go for walks with it. This is also a great way to get a horse used to different things too.  Ground work is a VERY important part of training, you can start teaching cues that can be then transferred to saddle work.

I personally do not like to start any heavy riding until a horse has had a chance to mature - generally 4-5 years of age. There are some people who start horses earlier, but in my opinion there is still a lot of growing up a horse needs to do before being subjected to rigorous saddle work. Doing some riding is ok - again, I wouldn't start endurance riding, eventing, jumping or anything else strenuous
