Who's up for a c**t starting clinic in NY??

We’re excited to announce the opportunity for a C**t Starting Clinic with Dan Moltion on August 24, depending on interest! To ensure we design a clinic that meets your needs, we’d love your input. Please let us know if you’re interested and share a bit about your horse’s experience:
• Is this their first ride?
• Have they had a few rides already?
• Have they completed 30 days of training?
• Are you primarily looking for groundwork exercises?

Your feedback will help us create the best format for this clinic. Let us know if you’d like to join!

Mentally fit or physically fit

It's c**t starting season and everyone is sending out their young stock or climbing aboard to start their future partners. I'd like to know for the trainers and owners what is more important: mental fitness or physical fitness. Do we stress the number and length of rides that each horse gets? Or do we focus on quality of education that the horse gets?

Here's my thoughts keeping in mind that the focus is on the first 30-60 days of their career. A horse needs to be fit enough to complete the tasks that we are asking of them. But my main focus is training the horse to learn. They should know how to respond to pressure and seek softness and release. They should know how to stay between your legs and reins. They should know how to address new things. We, as humans, understand that you don't get up and start running 10 miles a day to prep for a marathon at the end of the month. I feel that stressing time in the saddle over quality of training experiences is a sacrifice of long term goals in favor of immediate "results."

What do you want to see in a young horse's first experiences? Do we stress that they are ridden 5-7 days a week to be sure that time is being put in and they are physically fit? Or is mental preparation more important?
