Colt Starting

In this three disc DVD, you have a rare opportunity to learn the authentic, straightforward techniques Chris uses to start his own horses at home and those he has used to win two consecutive Road to the Horse championships. Working with a stud colt named Peanut, Chris shows you how to start the young horse in a calm manner that does not leave the colt winded. Working with simple tools (halter, lead, saddle and pad) you’ll learn how to use good horsemanship to develop a soft and willing colt without a bit or tying around. Peppered with valuable tips throughout, this series is a must have for anyone who wants to start their own horse in a safe and effective manner. Runtime: 2 hr. 15 min.
