Question
hello sir, may i know why horses are sold at their minimum age of two. why they cant be sold when they are 2 or 3 month of foals??

Answer
Caine,
A horse can be sold at any age. In fact, some foals are sold before they are born. The buyer will purchase the foal before it is born and then take delivery once it is weaned. If the foal is born and does not have a buyer ahead of time, then it can be sold once it is weaned. There is no reason to wait until it is 2 years old to sell the horse unless the buyer only wants to buy a 2 year old horse. So, to answer your question, a horse can be sold at any age. Even before it is born.
