Colt Starting: 90 days is Nothing in a Horse's Life

90 Days to a Finished Horse? Let’s Put That in Perspective.

Imagine starting a brand-new job. You’ve never done it before, everything is unfamiliar, and you don’t speak the language. Now, imagine you only get two weeks to figure it all out. After that, you’re expected to perform like a seasoned pro. Sound crazy?

That’s exactly what we expect from young horses in a traditional 90-day colt-starting program. In human time, that’s about two weeks of work. That's a blink of an eye.

Colt starting isn’t about making a horse "broke" in 90 days—it’s about giving them a foundation they can build on for a lifetime. The real work comes in the months and years that follow.

Let’s talk about what 90 days really means and how we can set our horses up for long-term success.

-Working with horses is an inherently dangerous activity. All activities performed are carried out by trained professionals. These activities may not be suitable for every horse or owner, and it is important to assess your horse's individual capabilities and your own experience.
