SHARED:

Top things we HATE to hear as c**t starters: 🐴

1. “I would do it myself I just can’t afford to get hurt”

And you think we can!? This is how we make a living, how we pay our bills and feed our children. 🤦‍♀️ We cant afford to get hurt either BUT we have the skills and program to do this in the most successful and safest way possible.

2. “I would do it myself it’s just I don’t bounce like I used to”

Yeah neither do we, and as professional c**t starters we actually don’t hit the ground very often and we hope to keep it that way (Knock on wood).

3. “I don’t need all that fancy stuff, I just need someone to ride the bucks out for a few rides”

You’ll need to find a different program. If all you care about is a crash test dummy be upfront about that and see what c**t starters call you back. Starting c**ts is hard enough on our bodies we don’t get paid enough to just hop on and see what your horse feels like doing to us.

4. “I did all the groundwork already so you can just start riding - because I can only afford 30 days training”

Thank you for trying to prepare your c**t, but I will still be going through my checklist on the ground to be sure your c**t is prepared and a first ride will be successful. We do not offer 30 day c**t starts as it’s just not enough time for your c**t to get a foundation built that will last when you take them home.

5. “I’m a super novice rider and I can’t wait to start riding my first 2yr old! Is 60 days enough?”

No it’s not, even the quietest c**ts need TIME to build a solid foundation that won’t crumble. They will learn so much while they are being started but it takes time for skills to become concrete, and for a horse to be confident making up for mistakes of novice riders.

So as we head into c**t starting season, give your starter the time they need, don’t rush the process and dont treat their body or skills like they are less than.

Stay safe out there yall 👍🏼🐴

About every couple of years I am reminded that c**t-starting isn’t a ‘one size fits most’ & that there will always be one or two that will push you to generate new ideas.
While 30 days in my program generally looks similar, sometimes what you hand back has just as many components on the list but not all of the same ones.

For example.. My good buddy Mellow here. Mellow is a good citizen. He’s easy to catch on pasture, he stands quietly tied, he’s happy to be brushed & pampered, he picks up his feet like a gentleman, has no qualms about fly spray or detangler, and is good to saddle & bridle. He is hobble savvy, dog savvy & rope savvy. Mellow is soft in the face, guides around & is developing a really nice stop/back up. He is point & shoot when it comes to deadfall, water crossing, embankments & the horse trailer too. You know what else!? You can safely mount & dismount from either side, saddled or ba****ck & crawl all over him.
What does Mellow lack you ask? Motor.
We walk & trot, a LOT. Rides are short. 20 minutes or less. C**ts like Mellow demand to be rewarded for effort, no matter the quality or duration. Is it ideal not to be loose-rein loping across the pasture? No. Do I feel like it will be a big issue looking forward? Also no. A trainable mind & consistent degree of try is enough for this particular horse.
And for those of you who don’t know what the other side of that looks like.. it presents itself in tail swishing, ear pinning, head/neck shaking, kicking out, rearing up, laying down, hard to catch, unhappy horses.
So, less is more at this stage & I have no doubts that with time & maturity he too will bloom!

I am beyond happy with Coys first time to town this last week. He truly showed his willingness to learn, adapt, & grow in a show pen full of competitive horses & showmen.

Thank you David Hollenback for the captured memories!
