Three Colts, Three Trainers, Three Days

When presented with the idea by two different friends to put on a colt starting competition the wheels started turning. With lots of planning and the help of a wonderful committee, the dream of the “Horseman’s Mission” came true. Whether it’s starting a colt, improving you’re riding, or teaching your horse new things. The Horseman’s mission is here to help support and educate other horse lovers on how to go to the next level with their horses.

So if you enjoy leaning about horsemanship, spending time with great clinicians and trainers, and enjoy being in a family friendly atmosphere, don’t miss out on this event!

How the Colt Starting Event Works

Each trainer has 1^1/2 hours per day to train his/her colt.
Each trainer is judged on horsemanship and finished performance by a panel of judges.
1st Place wins a saddle by JR Custom Saddlery
