How would you go about saddle braking a miniature horse? I assume you would have to train them to lunge and ground drive with the saddle on, but how could you get them used to having weight on their back since you can't get into the saddle yourself?
How much weight could a 31" miniature carry? How much could a 34" carry? What could be the effects from a miniature carry too much weight?
Could you send them to a large horse trainer? Could a large horse trainer, who doesn't have any experience with miniatures, correctly saddle brake a miniature? How much would you expect to pay a trainer to saddle brake your mini? Would you pay less, because it's a mini, or more because it's a mini?
How long does it take to saddle brake a miniature horse, from green to letting a child ride it? How much could you accomplish in just 3 months?
