When To Start Advertising « on: April 06, 2006, 05:47:52 PM » I have a coming 3-year-old Anglo-Trakehner filly. I've just moved her to a trainer who also takes the horses to shows, plus will do video tapes/pictures of your horse on her web site.  My question is how much training do you put into a horse you want to sell (to a good home) before you say "that's it>"?  A year?  How long does it take to decide if a horse is better suited for jumpers or dressage?  As you can see, I'm clueless.   Thanks for any help.

Re: When To Start Advertising « Reply #1 on: April 08, 2006, 09:05:13 PM » I personally think a coming 3 yr old is too young for serious training.  I'd wait until 3-1/2 to 4 y.o. for under saddle, and then put in the training time.  You should be able to have a very well trained horse in 6 months, and so far as deciding on disciplines, well--sometimes they have the talent for both, but a desire for one over the other.  I don't like jumping a horse before they have a good solid foundation, so that for me is around 4-1/2 to 5 y.o., although you can certainly put them through chutes freejumping.  If they enjoy it, and their bloodlines are good for jumping, I'd market both ways.
