Groundwork is the most important part of starting a colt. Starting a colt under saddle is really about preparing the horse for what’s to come. It’s about helping them realize that they can move their feet, and be thoughtful as opposed to reactive.
This is a quick clip of a groundwork video that I took with a long yearling named Presley. He’s pretty adorable and very agreeable! We sold him about 15 days later to one of our long-time clients and friends. He’s so agreeable they’re going to have their son start him under saddle this fall!
I hope you learn something from watching! And don’t forget there’s plenty of good content (plus my riding course) available on my channel!
