My personal opinion: do not ride a 2 year old. You can sit on them, but riding them is only going to hurt them. Wait until around 3 to start riding, and 4-5 for cantering and sliding stops.

@@magdalenabouzkova8800it’s still awful for their spines and backs. Trust me, it doesn’t matter what horse it is they WILL break down before they’re even 5 if you do this with them.
@@just_a_horse_lifeit depends on conformation, breed, etc. there is nothing wrong with riding a two year old as long as you arent too harsh or demanding.
@@EquineMetalhead it’s not that, yes he’s old enough to do a walk, trot, canter, maybe gallop routine with nothing else, but he’s to young to reined because his bones are not fully developed and he should be at LEAST 5 before he does huge stopping+ other reining activities!
Exactly! I have so much fun with my 17 year old arabian mare who is still totally sound. I don't even think of my 11 year old TB as quite middle aged, because we're still learning so much technique wise with dressage and jumping. There is so much more fulfillment from a riding perspective to have a long partnership, but I guess for some people it's about money, rather than horse welfare.
Just for the record, some horses can mature that early. If definitely depends on genetics. I still believe that you shouldn’t saddle break them till they are at least 3, it’s just better in the long run.
Two years old is fine with light riding. It’s fine to break em under saddle at that age IF that’s when they mature. Some quarter horses mature early, so whenever they’re broken so young they typically do light riding.
@@sammisoccer7 I agree, a two year old shouldn’t be slide stopping. But starting a horse at like five is ridiculous. W/T stuff at two won’t break down a horse before seven.
Uhhh- bro you can ride him lightly maybe not even a full on ride you can only like ride him in corrals and stuff at 2 you should probably wait til he’s about 3 and a half or 4 to start training this hard. He had to have been being ridden at a way to early age if he’s this good already…..poor boy
Horses aren’t fully developed till 6 or 7. I would lightly start them at 3 and slowly work my way up to hard riding by the time they are 7. And we wonder why some horses have sooo many problems and are lame at age 15
For everyone saying that this is abuse I’m pretty sure that horse ain’t 2 years old. A 2 year old would not be that developed and thick and that stop is a very well trained stop not a 2 year old stop.❤ I can guarantee you that this is not a 2 year old, if you go look up a 2 year old colt you’ll see what I mean❤❤ Edit: Also pretty sure this video is not theirs so they don’t know how old he is, if I’m wrong and this video is theirs than sorry 😂
This is my video, I filmed it. Also, the colt is 2 years old. When you feed a horse right and they have strong genetics, they can definitely be as thick as he is at a young age. Being as he is so strong, that is why he is capable of stopping like that therefor this is not abuse.
@@eliteequinepromotionsmhm my friends mare she got when she was 3 and just turned 4 and that horse is so well developed and came form a top tier show ranch and most of them are showing at super high levels at her age so it’s just really depends
i dont rllly think you should be stoppin a horse like dat at 2 i think you rlly should take it slow on him or her but i saw some ppl do it and like just sell them at four but they didnt ride them hard or nothing like dat
guys most of those top tier reiners are like 4-6 it’s all genetics and every horse develops differently and the horse seems fine the only thing that i find wrong is that he doesn’t have back leg gear on but that’s all
@@Deej496 mhm i jsut hope this is something they do very rarely and not every time but i wouldn’t be surprised to see this horse up there in those top reining shows
@@Deej496yep- I knew friends with reining horses who had significant hock arthritis by 10..... Honestly I think any sport/training practice that has horses retiring with 2/3rds of their lives still to be lived needs to be rethought.
For everyone saying that this is abuse these horses are made for this sport..they live this sport yes this is a 2 yr old and is probably going to the futurity to show at 3 yrs old and is gonna make a great stud even 6 month old foals with that reining bloodline will slide a little.

2yr old??? Let them mature, aim for longevity, you don't want them breaking down before 5 yr old.
Man you clearly know nothing about futurity horses
@@Gloctrapgod Little tip for you, futurity horses bones mature at the same rate as non futurity horses.
Agree. I despise this guy, he's yanking instead of using appropriate leg pressure as well. The horse is clearly uncomfortable if not flat out in pain.
@@localplaguedoctorhe’s not yanking at all-
@@localplaguedoctor Bruh do you even know what you are talking about..?
Never rein a 2 year old not only is it hard on their joints but they're still growing amd maturing.
He looks well built, not only that but he looks pretty big, muscley ect. Its his decision, i personally would wait until 3, but again, his decision

2 year? He is too young, horses should have time to mature… He is STUNNING though!❤
@Peachyt I know but I’m saying he shouldn’t rein yet because his bones are still growing
If he’s too young, then why is he old enough to be ridden?

@@mynameisddream Ohhhhh, yeah I agree with that. I thought you meant too young to be ridden sorry 😅
@Harlows world 2 is also ok but just for lights riding
Ay, let him grow up a little and get that bit out. They're clearly uncomfortable with how hard you're pulling.
He aint pullin-
Arthritis and injections by 10. Love these animals hate to see them all washed out and in pain with low end horse traders at 8 years old.

You trying to break that horse or something? I don’t think you should even be riding much at two… he’s gonna break down before he’s five
Then he won’t be on track for the futurity if he’s not started at 2

Agree. At 2 i usually only desensitize them to extremely light saddles and girths. Rather safe than sorry.
He can but then he won’t be ready for the NRHA futurity
@@Gloctrapgodwhich is why the whole system promotes practices that are bad for overall equine welfare, and maybe needs to be re-evaluated.
I question that this is good for spine and hip on a young horse.
Then amend futurity age.

For the futurity 🤦🏼♂️

You can tell a lot about a person by how they treat an animal. And this says nothing good.
2 years old???!!! My 2 year old has had a saddle in his back twice. Yours shouldn’t already stop like that. It’s not good for them
WOOT WOOT!!K GO!!!
Cleannnn
It’s ok to ride a 2 year old, but this is too much work and could damage them
Ein 2jähriges Pferd so zu reiten ist Tierquälerei!😡
I buy that how much
TAKE THE SPURS OFF. YOU DON'T NEED THEM. THAT IS ABUSE.
i dont rllly think you should be stoppin a horse like dat at 2 i think you rlly should take it slow on him or her but i saw some ppl do it and like just sell them at four but they didnt ride them hard or nothing like dat
Huge stops what about the rest of the patern
guys most of those top tier reiners are like 4-6 it’s all genetics and every horse develops differently and the horse seems fine the only thing that i find wrong is that he doesn’t have back leg gear on but that’s all

I personally don’t think reining is abuse
@@Elaina_shorts Yes but usually they are retired at 11 or 12 depending they only major show till like 7 yrs old
Any sport that retires a horse before it's lived even a third of it's lifespan needs to be re-evaluated IMO.
