Colt Starting 101

Colt Starting 101: Starting the Young Horse Clinic – The starting process (aka breaking) under saddle is one of the most impressionable times of a young horse’s life. If done correctly you move smoothly into an ever-lasting partnership, if done incorrectly you spend many hours, weeks, months or even years figuring out their history and reassuring them of a non-violent future.

During this week you will learn and practice gentle communication methods. These methods are proven with positive results around the Globe in all equine disciplines. They are highly effective, safe and very efficient for not only young un-started horses but also to reestablish a more cooperative relationship with mature horses as well.Starting the Young Horse Clinic
