| No matter what your discipline, establishing a solid foundation on a young horse is imperative to success for your performance prospect. At COLTS UNLIMITED developing young horses is a specialty. The first 90 days work on a young horse under saddle is the most memorable and important period in their educational process. At no other time do horses have to retain so much information and advance so rapidly. It is imperative that the education that horses receive at this time is positive and correct leaving the horse with the proper foundation necessary for their particular discipline . A lifetime of colt starting knowledge was passed on from Jack Carrel to his son Charlie. Combined they have started literally thousands of colts. Developing a solid foundation on horses for top riders in disciplines ranging from Grand Prix jumpers , dressage, hunters, high goal polo, driving, professional rodeo and the AQHA and APHA show circuit .A constant belief that good horses come from quality miles, a relaxed frame of mind and confidence in knowing their job, COLTS UNLIMITED knows how to make the right thing easy for the horse. |
