Starting my Colt, Max
"MAX"
Howdy. The last couple of weeks, Monson and I have been working on starting my 4 year old colt, Max. Max is a line back dun. He is short, small, and not that good looking. The good side about him is he is one of the most laid back easy going colts of all time. This is the first colt I have ever started so this is a big plus.
When you are riding any horse the goal is for horse and rider to work as a team. This is easier said then done. During the first couple of rides on a colt you are laying the foundation for this.
Here are some pictures of the third ride on Max.
In this shot I'm not sure what made me clench my jaw. Max was doing great.
Asking a colt to lope is a little bit scary because things can go bad fast. But they didn't.
That's the latest update from the Scoop Loop.
Happy Trails.
