𝐋𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐏𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐬 & 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠

While we’re on the subject of c**t starting — a topic that always stirs up plenty of conversation — let’s talk about pedigrees.

𝐃𝐨 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐝? 𝐍𝐨.

Do horses have to be by money-earning or producing sires and dams? No. Just look at the Run for a Million Reining or any of the major events this year — the fields are overflowing with horses out of mares that may have never earned a dollar themselves.

Before you climb up on your soapbox and declare that the industry needs to change, take a deeper look. Those horses aren’t by “Gunner’s rank third cousins brother” and out of “she who bucked a lot.” Their pedigrees are thoughtfully built on generations of performers and proven producers.

What modern pedigrees give our c**t starters is a horse that’s more likely to have the talent, balance, and mental wiring to handle the process and connect mind to body. This increases the odds of success — not by luck, but by genetic design. Breeders, large and small alike, don’t invest money blindly. Every cross has a purpose, every foal a plan. Breeding programs today are built around creating winners — and there’s simply no way to pencil out the costs of doing otherwise.

Of course, not every horse is going to fulfill its first purpose. But the beauty of today’s western performance industry is that there are more opportunities than ever before for those that don’t fit their initial mold.

Their job is to read the horse and give you feedback based on years — often decades — of experience. You’re paying for their skill, their feel, and their opinion. Respect that.

If you want your prospect to succeed, be open-minded. Understand that you can’t force a square peg into a round hole. Don’t let pride or emotion hinder your horse, your trainer, or your wallet. Some c**ts will take longer. Some will exceed every expectation. Others simply won’t fit the dream you had in mind — and that’s okay.

Modern breeding for form and function has improved the odds, but you, as the owner, still play a huge role. Want to minimize losses? Then be smart — sell the ones that don’t fit your goals to someone they do fit, and reinvest in one that aligns better with your dreams.

Sometimes time will fix things. Sometimes it won’t. Can you afford to gamble on the what if’s?

If it’s a lifelong keeper and “last man standing” is your motto — be patient.
If you’re chasing the Futurity dream on a budget — be realistic.

The Futurity game isn’t for everyone. Thankfully, with the growth of added money in aged events, it doesn’t have to be. But the one guaranteed way to find success?

Be clear. Remove emotions. Trust your trainer. And above all — see your horse for what God intended it to be.

Sometimes they are more talented than your budget will allow. - Sell them and cheer for them to go all the way.

Sometimes they aren’t for you. It’s heart breaking. But the sooner you cut loose of them, the more money you can put into the next dream.

Sometimes your heart horse wants to go a different direction. That’s ok! Go with them! It will be fun and rewarding.

It’s not anyone’s fault. It’s just horses. The roller coaster we are all addicted to riding and never want to get off. As terrifying as it is thrilling.

Getting a young horse to bloom into a confident show horse takes time and a lot of horse psychology... don't rush the process

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 — 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫

It’s no secret the equine industry is booming. Between the explosion of incentive programs and more major horse shows than ever before, the demand for well-started, confident young horses has skyrocketed. Leading riders are traveling now more than ever - escalating the value exponentially solid c**t starting programs.

Yet, there’s one part of the equation that seems to be in short supply — experienced c**t starters.

If you’re new to the business or simply preparing to show one you’ve raised for the first time, our advice is twofold:

Feed them well.
Find a horse trainer you trust and want to invest in.

But here’s the vital piece of the puzzle that often gets overlooked: the c**t starting.

𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐚 𝟑𝟎-𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐓𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝

This isn’t a quick-fix job, no matter how much we wish it could be. Every c**t is an individual. What one horse may figure out in a day might take another 30 days to understand — and that’s not a reflection of the trainer or the horse. A true horseman knows the difference and adjusts accordingly.

Too many people still throw around the phrase “just starting” like it’s no big deal. Truth is, that mindset can make or break a young prospect. The foundation built (or not built) in those first 30 days will follow that horse for the rest of its life.

So here’s our first piece of advice: Don’t discount this step.
The professionals who dedicate their lives to starting performance prospects are worth every single dollar they charge — and then some.

𝐈𝐟 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥, 𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜

It’s a good problem to have when the trainer you want to use is booked solid. But instead of settling for “whoever’s available,” ask that trainer who they recommend. Many top horsemen have other professionals they trust to start horses for their own programs. That insight is gold — take it.

And once your c**t is with the c**t starter and then the trainer, remember to communicate. Listen to their evaluation. This is your first “progress report” of the year. Pay attention to what they say, don't be offended or defensive — listen to where your horse excels, where it struggles, and how it learns. That feedback helps you make better decisions moving forward in their careers.

𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧

We’ll say it again: this isn’t a 30-day miracle job. If you want your horse to be confident, consistent, and set up for a lifetime of success, plan to leave them for at least 90 to 120 days.

With so many leading trainers constantly traveling for major events, your young horse will benefit from being with someone who’s consistent, patient, and hands-on when it counts the most.

𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 — 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐖𝐚𝐢𝐭

Here’s the elephant in the room: When should you start your c**t?

Most professional c**t starters will tell you — the sooner, the better. Young horses, much like teenagers, go through what we call a “sponge stage.” They crave stimulation and learning. Not because they want to get into trouble, but because their minds are searching for something to do.

For some c**ts, that phase comes around 18 months. For others, closer to 24. The best approach? Let your horse, veterinarian, and trainer guide the timing together.

And remember — in a professional c**t starting program with horseman, these horses aren’t being worked hard or long. Sessions are short and intentional — 10 to 20 minutes focused on confidence, clarity, and communication. The goal is to set them up for a lifetime of success, right at the moment when they’re most open to learning.

𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬

The truth is simple: The industry needs more skilled c**t starters — and more owners who understand their value. If you’re investing the time, money, and heart into breeding or buying a performance horse, don’t cut corners at the very start of their journey.

For the love of all things holy... Pay them. Pay them well. In the long run it will be the best money you have spent. Ever. Guaranteed. You will lose less time. They won't go 10 step forward to go 20 steps back.

Feed them right.
Trust the process.
Find a horseman who believes in setting a foundation, not rushing a result.

Because those first rides don’t just make a horse — they make a future.

Can we talk about confidence when walking in the show pen? Confidence is a huge mental part of competition, regardless of what sport you play.
2025 has been a lot of changing, I found myself struggling to have any kind of confidence in my ability and my horses. It showed! I had my amazing baby boy in February and I was struggling to get the baby weight off and get my groove back. In July, I saw a picture of myself and I had a smile on my face, but my baby gut had popped a button and was hanging out. This absolutely devastated me and certainly did not help my confidence any... something had to change ... so we made changes .... one was I needed shirts I could show in and feel confident in .... so I bought 3 Ranch Dressin shirts. Enough things can go wrong in the show pen and NOT having to worry about my shirt busting open sure helped. It was the 1 thing that I felt I had some control over ... that helped!
So fast forward to October 2025 and Snaffle Bit Futurity... yep things are better, confidence is coming back, and it sure felt good to step in the pen with a smile and confidence... 2025 has been a hell of a ride.
