Here's a breakdown:
* 4-6 months: This is a good age to begin ground training, which involves teaching basic commands like "come", "stand", "lead", and desensitizing them to handling and grooming.
* 6-12 months: You can start introducing basic riding lessons with a very small child or adult who can handle a miniature horse's size. This should be done gradually and with proper guidance from a qualified instructor.
* 12 months and up: This is the age where you can start teaching more advanced training, such as jumping, driving, or other specific disciplines.
Remember:
* Every horse, even miniature ones, is an individual and may learn at different paces.
* Patience and positive reinforcement are key to successful training.
* Always consult with a qualified trainer or veterinarian for personalized advice.
