Colts Unlimited specializes in the training and development of show jumpers, from starting prospects under saddle all the way through their entire show career. From a lifetime of commitment to the horse industry, our resumes cover a wide spectrum of knowledge.
Young Horse Program
There are many good hands out there who follow the lead of clinicians or knowledgeable professionals and are capable of putting a good start on a young horse. However, the number of people who start hundreds of youngsters from the very beginning, and also ride at the Grand Prix level, are few. Knowing what you are looking for in that top Grand Prix horse, as well as what is required all the way down to the rusty stirrup ring, can only come from deep experience.
I have spent my entire life feeling different horses underneath me, understanding their minds, and knowing how much to ask in order to get the best out of one while instilling in him a relaxed confidence. It is the art of developing a true partnership.
The initial work with a young horse under saddle is the most memorable and important period in the educational process. At no other time do horses have to retain so much information and advance so rapidly. It is imperative that the education horses receive at this time is positive and correct. I maintain a constant belief that good horses come from quality miles, a relaxed frame of mind, and knowing their job. With this background, you can build an athlete that can step up to the next level and handle it with confidence. Colts Unlimited strives to make the right thing easy for the horse, and how to build a partnership between horse and rider.
