Foals are baby horses, and their bones and muscles are still developing. Riding a foal would be extremely harmful and could cause serious injury.
Instead of riding, focus on:
* Bonding and handling: Spending time with the foal, getting it used to human touch and handling.
* Groundwork: Teaching the foal basic commands like leading and standing still.
* Socialization: Exposing the foal to different people, animals, and environments.
Once the foal is older and stronger (usually around 2-3 years old), you can start introducing them to riding with the guidance of an experienced horse trainer.
Remember, patience and proper training are key to raising a healthy and happy horse.
