Colt Starting
When I start your colt, you can be sure that your horse will be given a solid foundation that will carry through in his training for many years to come, no matter what the discipline.
-I specialize in colt starting using the natural horsemanship methods of Clinton Anderson. I have been involved with Clinton Anderson’s program for several years and have spent time at his Ohio training facility, participating in several clinics and soaking up as much info as humanly possible.
I have also been involved with Tom Curtin. He is a great teacher who shows softness and feel. He has a great understanding of the horse and where it is mentally. And opens your eyes to how the horse feels about himself when he is around you. If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend riding in one of his 3 day clinics.
Problem horses
During their stay, I start all horses the same. Round pen, groundwork & riding. I will establish a new foundation necessary for any discipline you desire. This will also include up to 4 hrs of one-on-one personal training time with you, the horse owner. We will cover any areas where you lack confidence in your riding or handling experience. These skills taught will be necessary to maintain the foundation of your horse.
It all begins with tons of ground work, used to establish respect and control of their feet. All horses have a reacting and a thinking side of their brain. It will be my goal to get your horse using the thinking side of his brain. It all starts by getting control of their feet, and at the same time building a trust and bond "unity". Everything I do in the saddle is first taught on the ground first, from turns & yields to backing side passing, etc.
