THESE STUDENTS ARE SAYING
“Wonderful clinic! I can’t thank Colton enough for coming almost to Canada to do a clinic for us in Duluth, Minnesota. So so lucky to have had the opportunity to learn at Colton’s clinic. No ego, no judgement. What a great clinician. Thank you thank you! Such a wonderful breathe of fresh air. Still absorbing so much. If you have the opportunity to take a clinic with him please do so. Your horse will thank you. Thank you for making riding feel magical again. Not that it didn’t before, but this was something really special. Please come back again! Soon!” – Deborah
“After a 3 day clinic with Colton, the relationship with my horse completely changed. We have a great partnership and he’ll do about anything I ask of him. I had him on trial at the time, but soon after I purchased him. Thank you, Colton for giving me the best gift…a partnership with Sparta!” – Jeri
“I’ve learned more in these last 3 lessons than I have in several years. I’ve seen many people do incredible things with horses but as with every profession, just because you’re an expert and amazing at what you do, doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a great teacher. Relaying your expertise into digestible, practical concepts that others can use and learn from, is really an art and talent all of its own. Especially with riding, which is for a large part based on feeling, it is often difficult to describe to others what subtle body cues are essential to get a desired response from the horse. But you do it so well!!! You see the small changes in the horse and rider and can point them out in an understandable and applicable way. And the immediate improvement in the horse’s behavior when I follow those cues only more confirms how in tune you are with the horse and rider. Through his sensitivity and patience and your excellent cues and advise, I feel for the first time in a while, like I’m actually improving myself again as a rider. Plus I have an absolute blast doing it!” – Caroline
“Colton is awesome! Calm, honest and thoughtful! Your horse will feel comfortable and confident in himself with Colton! Has helped me with my horse and makes sure we both understand how to progress. What I appreciate most about Colton for training and in general, is that he’s always trying to learn more and absorb the bigger lesson.” – Lauren
