This clinic offers two distinct formats!
Cowboy Challenge 2 day format complete with obstacles - $310
OR
Progressive 4 day Colt Starting Class - $590
The colt starting class will run daily at 4pm for 2-3 hours and have up to 5 participants. Colts should be no younger than 2 years and sound for mounted work. Colts may be completely unstarted, but must be safely manageable on the ground in a group setting.
Participants will be expected to handle and mount their own horse if they progress safely during the clinic. This clinic is about you having support and instruction on how to start your own horse - not bringing your young horse to have a clinician start it for you in just 4 days. Older and already started horses looking to work through a basic re-start are welcome.
The Cowboy Challenge clinic runs for two days with groups of 4 or 5 riders working for 2.5 hours each. All clinic participants are encouraged to stay for the duration of the clinic and audit the other groups.
Riders of all ages and levels are welcome as long as they are able to ride/handle their horses independently. We will group riders according to their horsemanship experience and skill level.
