A great weekend full of horsemanship and laughs!

Thank you to Wade and Dianne Spruill and Linda Jenny for sharing photos with us!

Clinton and Ian together again.

The event’s first training session was a colt starting demo led by Clinton. While he explained his colt starting process, Professional Clinician Kristin Hamacher worked with the colt.

After Fundamentals groundwork exercises, Kristin saddled the colt for the first time.

Once the colt was confident with the saddle on his back, Kristin put the hackamore on him and prepared him for his first ride.

Clinton directed the first ride from the ground while Kristin focused on just getting the colt used to having someone on his back.

It’s important to get a colt moving out at the walk, trot and canter during the first ride so that he readily moves out and doesn’t develop “sticky” feet.
