Veterinary Sign-Off
A vet confirms the pony is fit to begin.
How A Pony Is Started
A short, gated plan. A vet clears the pony first.
Consistency
Why A Written Plan
A written plan makes each pony's start the same, so we can compare and improve.
The Start
Stages
Backing
Sixteen weeks at minimum. Short sessions. Calm handling.
Generalisation
New places, new people, new tasks.
Structural Hardening
Only after a vet confirms skeletal maturity.
Young Stock
Limits For Young Stock
Sessions are capped at 10 to 15 minutes. No strength work before a vet confirms skeletal maturity.
Evidence
Is This Proven?
No. We are running a small case series with success criteria set in advance. We will publish what we find, good or bad.
