Great Progress Being Made in the Colt Starting Clinic

0809_03

The Colt Starting Clinic taking place at the Downunder Horsemanship Ranch in Farmington, Arkansas for Method Ambassadors is progressing well. Professional Clinician Jeff Davis is leading a group of 10 ambassadors who are each starting two horses. The horses were saddled for the first time last Tuesday and received their first ride on Thursday. Between now and then, Jeff has continued to teach the class groundwork and riding exercises to further build the horses’ confidence on the ground and under saddle.

Throughout the 11-day clinic, ambassadors are being evaluated on their colt-starting abilities in order to receive certification to start colts for the public. The course wraps up on Thursday, August 11th.
