Colt Starting and Problem Solving

First 30 Days

The first 30 days of your horse's training are the most important. Horses are forgiving, but they do not forget. This is where the foundation is built and the horse learns confidence and how to understand leadership from the trainer. Horses also learn habits, both good and bad. So it is very important for them to be started right by someone that can help them through all aspects of their training.
