From the age of five, kids can begin to have contact with the equestrian world, although the conditions for learning to ride a horse are established by the equestrian centers depending on the type of horses they have -each breed has its own character, and the age of the horse and the dressage also have an influence-, the teachers, the child‘s height, his or her psychomotor capacity, and so on.
