With international Colt Start Reserve Champion

This progressive 5-day clinic

Covers everything from groundwork foundations and desensitising through to long reining, first rides, and developing walk, trot, and canter under saddle. Participants will learn a structured, horse-first approach to colt starting that prioritises softness, understanding, and long-term success.

We are also considering increasing numbers and splitting the clinic into morning and afternoon groups to make the clinic more accessible and reduce the cost per participant.

Payment plans are available, however a deposit will be required to secure your place.

What the 5 Days Will Cover

Day 1 – Ground Control Foundations
Respect and communication on the ground, softness in the halter, hindquarter and shoulder control, desensitising, girth preparation, bridle introduction, and mounting preparation.

Day 2 – Long Reins & Mouth Education
One-rein and two-rein communication through groundwork, building softness, understanding, and calm responsiveness.

Day 3 – Softness & Stop Cues
Refining lateral softness, introducing soft stops and back-ups, and developing lightness before progressing further under saddle.

Day 4 – Saddle Introduction & First Ride Prep
Saddling with confidence, thorough preparation to mount, and a correct, low-stress first ride using short, positive sessions.

Day 5 – Developing Ridden Work
Establishing walk, trot, and canter, transferring groundwork into the saddle, and providing clear next steps for continued development at home.
