Hi, i have a 1/4 clydiex gelding that i bred. Since the age of 8 months i have put my daughter on him bareback and led her but not for long. At 1 year old i put a saddle on him and led around with no problems. He loved it. He is going to be 3 yrs old in 2 weeks and is fully broken in. I only ride him once or twice a week. My horse is happy and still spends time being a horse in the paddock with his mates and he loves human contact. He comes running when i whistle him. I dont see anything wrong with you wanting to sit on your youngster. I think the more you do with them when they are young, the less hassle you have with them later on. Good luck.
