I think we all know who the real expert is on this subject, and it ain't moi
my understanding is that the TB is an early maturing breed (relative to orther breeds) the knees should be closed at some point in the 2YO year...but starting training while the bones are still undergoing remodling will ultimately get you a sounder horse IMO, provided the long yearling/short 2YO is brought along carefully and not asked for speed early.
