Colt Starting & Problem Horse Restart
Building the Horse First — Not the Discipline
This clinic is designed to help riders start young horses correctly and restart problem horses by focusing on foundation before discipline-specific goals.
There is no single right way to train a horse. Good horsemen across all disciplines use different methods—but the principles stay the same.
At All Around Equine, we use a reining-based foundation because it emphasizes softness, body control, mental relaxation, and willingness. Not because it’s the only way—but because it translates well to all horses and many futures.
What We’ll Work On
Starting colts with clarity, confidence, and softness
Restarting problem horses by addressing holes in the foundation
Teaching horses to process pressure instead of react
Building mental quietness and confidence in new situations
Purposeful desensitization (not chaos)
Groundwork that carries directly into riding
👉 Yes, we will be riding.
You’ll see how correct groundwork translates under saddle into better balance, responsiveness, and calmer transitions.
Who This Clinic Is For
