Starting colts is a crucial moment in a horse's life, determining the quality of its relationship with humans and its future well-being.

This process should be carried out calmly, ethically, and adapted to each animal's pace, ensuring trust and cooperation. Respecting physical development is essential, remembering that a horse’s bone growth is only complete around the age of six.

Therefore, it is important to avoid early overloads, opting instead for a phased approach that aligns with the horse’s maturity.

Work can begin early, but always with simple actions appropriate for the horse's age, such as getting the foal used to touch, lifting its legs, and exploring new stimuli in a positive way. A gradual and respectful weaning process is the foundation for balanced emotional growth, helping to prevent traumas that could affect future behaviour and the relationship with humans.

As the starting process progresses, techniques evolve gradually, always respecting the horse’s signals and ensuring that each stage is fully consolidated before moving on to the next. This progressive method ensures that the horse develops confidence, calmness, and a natural willingness to collaborate in any situation.

I offer horse starting services at any stage of development, either at the horse’s regular location or in a partner facility equipped with everything necessary for safe and effective work. Additionally, I encourage owners to be involved in the process, learning techniques that allow them to continue the horse’s development and strengthen their bond.
