No there is definitely no perfect age, but by 8.5 almost all children should be ready. If they are ready for the responsibility of grooming and willing to take care of that I don't see why a four or five year old child couldn't begin.

But the problem would come with safety fears, since there are some obvious inherent risks to riding.
