Ready To Set Your Horse Up for a Lifetime of Success?

A 3-day fully immersive experience where you and your horse will set the foundation for a lifetime of Partnership, Performance and Purpose.

“Horsemanship is not just a way to train a horse, it is everything we do with our horses and in our own lives.”

Your horse only gets one start. Make it a good one. We are here to set foundation for the rest of your horse’s future. Using a proven young horse development system from the round pen to the first few rides, we’re going to dive deep to help build your horse’s confidence, focus, relaxation, and understanding to help them excel throughout their lifetime, regardless of discipline.

If you are wanting to develop the foundation for a deeper partnership, clarity, purpose, and enhanced performance with your horse, then The Young Horse Development Experience is the right event for you.

During the 3-day fully immersive experience you will:

  • Gain clarity about the foundational skills that all horses MUST HAVE to succeed throughout their lifetime.

  • Develop trust and connection with your horse through intentional round pen, ground work, colt starting prep, and under saddle exercises.

  • Learn in a supportive small group setting of goal-oriented horsemen and women.

  • Walk away with a personalized plan feeling more confident about how to continue your horse’s education and set them up for a lifetime of success.

TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT
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
