Inside the Colt Start:

A Straight-Talk Interview with Dan Chambers

If you're thinking about sending a colt into training this is the conversation you need to hear first.

Most people don't know what a quality colt start actually looks like. After tonight, you will.

Dan Chambers breaks down the process, the milestones, and what he won't skip no matter what.

Live  •  Tuesday, May 5, 2026  •  7:00 PM EST  •  Free to attend

A colt start is one of the biggest decisions you'll make for a young horse. Get it right and you're building a foundation that protects that horse's entire career. Get it wrong and you're spending the next several years trying to fix it.


The problem is most people don't really know what to look for in a colt starter or what to expect once their horse is in the program. They drop the horse off and hope for the best.


In this free webinar, Dawn is sitting down with Dan Chambers to talk through exactly how our colt starting program works. The process, the milestones, the nonnegotiables, and what owners can expect every step of the way.

What You Will Learn

In this webinar, we'll cover:

  • What 30, 60, and 90 days looks like and where a colt should be at each stage

  • What your horse should actually know by the end of a 90-day start

  • How we keep owners in the loop throughout the entire process

  • What Dan will not skip or shortcut no matter what

  • The difference between a horse that's had early groundwork and one that hasn't

  • Whether a colt start is a cost or an investment and how to think about it

  • When to book, what age Dan prefers to start, and the best time of the year

This Webinar is for you if...

  • You have a young horse and you're thinking about sending it into training this spring, this fall, or down the road

  • You've never sent a horse to a trainer before and you want to know what to expect

  • You want to know what separates a quality colt start from just getting a horse started

  • You're in the process of picking a colt starter and want to know the right questions to ask

  • You're planning to buy a weanling or yearling and want to understand the full process before you commit

Colt starting is what Dan does, it's the foundation everything else is built on. This is not a theoretical conversation it's a straight-talk interview about what the process actually looks like, what he's learned over the years, and what he believes every owner deserves to know before they hand over their horse.


If you want to feel confident and prepared the next time you send a horse into training, then don't miss this conversation.
