Discover the secrets to starting your foal’s training journey on the right hoof. Join us on Friday, November 15th, as renowned Parelli Natural Horsemanship experts, Franco Giani and Serena Grandin, guide you through a unique colt starting demonstration.

A foal’s early interactions with humans lay the foundation for a lifelong bond. Our goal is to provide a gentle, natural introduction that fosters trust and respect, ensuring both the horse’s physical and emotional well-being.

Our Colt Start program follows a structured approach, carefully guiding the foal through a series of steps. From building a trusting partnership on the ground to introducing the saddle and rider, each stage is designed to respect the foal’s individual learning pace.
