You should not under any circumstances get on a foal or especially jump on a foal. A horse should not have the weight of a human on it's back until it is at a minimum of 3 years old, and hard work should not begin until it is 4 years old, this includes jumping. Getting on a horses back before it is three years old will result in damage to the horses body and cause it to break down earlier in life than if it were started properly at 3 or 4 years old.
