Young Remount Horse
Young Remount Horse Age
We define remount horse as a horse between 12 and 36 months of age based on its actual foaling date, not in calendar years. The reasons for this are:
-
A large spread of foaling dates throughout a year in modern small farm breeding operations.
-
Growth plates closure in bones is still happening in upper parts of limbs and other skeletal bones.
-
Lifestyle adjusting bone remodeling processes happen in horses from 24 to 48 months of age that require assisting human effort for future sport horse career.
-
Most warmblood riding horses are sold as yearlings or even younger, and owners must handle this period in horse development in its own special way.
-
Exceptional quality youngsters are marked as broodstock (broodmare prospects and stallion prospects) and undergo special training either by breeder's personnel or by hired professional handlers.
