I disagree completely.  My 10year old pupils can all transpose  at least horn 
in Eb at sight and can have a good go at Cand Bb as  well.  They'll attempt 
any other transposition put in front of  them. They don't find it difficult, 
they just do it as a matter of course-  it's as natural to them as putting in 
the mouthpiece.  The earlier you  start, the better.  Left until college age, 
yes, then it might be difficult  to start.
 
All the best,
 
Lawrence
