The Growing Shortage of Colt Starters
from Be Your Best Horsemanship · host Phil Haugen
In this episode, I’m talking about the growing shortage of colt starters in our industry and why it matters for horse owners, breeders, and trainers alike. As more colts are being bred and fewer people are starting them, the demand for skilled colt starters has never been higher. I share some of my thoughts on where the opportunities are heading for those willing to put in the work, along with what I’ve seen in my colt starting mentorships—the transformations that happen when trainers are given the time, support, and real-world experience to do it right. Whether you’re raising colts, riding young horses, or looking at this as a career path, this is an important conversation about the future of horsemanship.
