Remuda Colt Starters 

Whats a Colt Starter?
Here at Remuda we are looking to round up a few horse people that want to learn the skills of the horse trainer. A daily educational program for students ages 11 – 17, designed to rapidly advance students horsemanship capabilities while teaching them the pride and satisfaction of helping start a young horse.
Remuda’s colt starting program will be a 10 month program running from Sept to June, with students working 5 days a week to develop skills and resources necessary to not only improve their riding, but to learn how to start a 2 year old colt.

Colts will be purchased by Remuda Horsemanship and be paired with each individual student based upon personality by Tony McKee.

Perfect for homeschool students or students attending Connections For Learning through Parkland School Division, the program will follow the PSD calendar and run all operational days with both a morning class from 9 – 12, or in the afternoon from 1 – 4. On PD days the program will run from 9 – 3 combining both groups.
Students will be required to apply to the program and go through an interview process with Tony.

 

Program Goals

Students will improve their horsemanship skills and learn a broad range of equine care. They will develop their horsemanship skills and riding abilities on veteran Remuda horses in preparation for the colt starting.
They will learn the necessary skills to train a two year old gelding taking them through a process of education to produce a quiet ridable horse. Students will assist Tony in some larger group educational lessons, practicing their skills through teaching.
The year will conclude will a horse sale and the selling of the trained colts, students will learn how to market and prepare horses for sale.

Proceeds from the sale will be put towards purchasing colts and supplies for the following year.
