A practical foundation for a colt’s early training

Drawing on Mary Twelveponies’s experience with horses, this guide concentrates on the formative first two years of a colt’s life. It organizes early handling around essential groundwork: selecting equipment, building trust, establishing control, and introducing the saddle. The emphasis is on giving young horses a deliberate start before more advanced training, with attention to the practical relationship between handler and colt.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Horse owners preparing to work with a young colt
  • Handlers seeking guidance on early trust-building and control
  • Equestrians interested in introducing equipment and saddling
