About 6 or 7, not sure Teach him oral commands by leading him if he doesn't already know them. he knows all the commands All you need is a pair of driving lines (reins) and a saddle from a harness. Get some one to help you by leading the horse when you give the command to walk on etc. You don't need the old horse to go with him. It is easier than you think. Most horses pick up ground driving quickly. Ok well, I'll give it a try. No one to help here but will just work a little bit at a time. He ground drives very well and is a pro at the command HO. Thanks for your reply and Happy Holidays!
