Get an In-Depth Look at how to Start a Colt at the Ranch Rally

0913_05

At the Ranch Rally, held October 21st and 22nd at the Downunder Horsemanship Ranch in Stephenville, Texas, Clinton will provide an in-depth look at his colt starting method. What separates the clinician’s approach to starting horses under saddle is his use of an assistant, which makes the experience less stressful for the colt and helps him better understand what is expected of him. During the colt starting demo, Clinton will cover these topics:

First Saddling
Working with a colt that’s never been saddled, Clinton walks you through his step-by-step process of introducing a saddle to a horse.

First Ride
Clinton demonstrates how to safely put the first ride on a horse.

Second Ride
A colt that has already been given his first ride is brought out for this demonstration so Clinton can explain what he looks for in a horse’s second ride.

Third Ride
The training progression of starting a horse under saddle continues with a session with a third colt that has been ridden twice before. In front of attendees, Clinton will share what he looks for in a horse’s third ride.

Learn about all of the training demonstrations that will be covered at the Ranch Rally on our website. Only 750 horsemen will be admitted to our most extravagant event of the year. Tickets can be purchased online or by calling 888-287-7432.
