horses should be jumping till they r 5..

[ponyzrule]

@hunterjumper922 to be honest i don't care as this is not my horse. They can jump before they're 5? I know people who compete their horses when they're 4, and so have I.

[CHEVYedsf]

@ponyzrule They CAN, but if you want to train your horse properly with much less chance of having bad knees, you shouldnt jump until @ the very least, 4.

[ponyzrule]

@CHEVYedsf idgaf, it's not my horse.

[ponyzrule]

Guyyss, just to clear things up;

THIS IS NOT MMY HORSE

SO THEREFORE I DID NOT MAKE IT JUMP

I JUST UPLOADED THE VIDEO.

Ta.

@hunterjumper922 think, in the wild, they jump the day after there born, :) and I have a horse that three and we jump him all the time, that was two years ago, now, were training him for the olympics,

In response to all the people worried about the "jumping foal"...it is perfectly all right for a foal or young horse to jump on their own, occasionally. Most horses shouldn't be started undersaddle until they are three or four, and not jumped until four because their bones are still soft at agest younger than this. Being ridden or jumped too early can cause permanent lamenesses later in life. Some breeds mature more quickly, and can be worked earlier, some need more time due to later maturity.

jumping for foals is NATURAL! do you think all the wild foals have bad knees because of how they play around, jump and run? This height is not bad for a foal to jump AT ALL. To jump on this height sometimes solely strengthens the horse and its jumping abilities. Im not saying you should jump too high, or too often och make it competitive, but for games to jump like this, is NOT dangerous. You talk like horses are a weak creation of humans, but these are creations of nature, built to run & jump

most horses do not jump competitive until they're older because jumping is a hard trade to learn. Most dressage horses don't compete until they're ten years old or older..its not because its damaging to the horse, its because it takes a lot of training.

He deserves a higher jump than that :P He acted as if he was jumping a fence! Beautiful jump on his part!

[Showjumper1999storm]

That foal picks it self up beautifully and jumps very high

[Jessiealana]

@hunterjumper922 actually many horses are started at this kind of thing when they are 2 and three. my mare for instance is only 3 and she is matured(bone wise) as are may MANY horses and they compete sometimes at 2 and 3 yrs of age too so it isnt exactly the age, its their physical maturity, if thir bones are matured...they can jump :) just saying. Im not saying i agree with the babys being made to jump( not saying you did @ponyzrule ) but honestly in the wild they have to jump things :)

Fab vid! What a cutie! As to the age a horse should start jumping.... many foals will jump higher than this whilst playing around in the field! - ours jumps like this when he crosses the stream in his paddock, so he doesn't get his feet wet :)

AHH :)

Sooo sweet :P
