CENTRAL HIGHLANDS COLT STARTING CHALLENGE…Has Been Cancelled for 2020, Will Be Back Bigger and Better in 2021!!
Featuring at AG-Grow for it’s 8th year running, this remarkable event demonstrates horse whispering at its best. Three unridden colts are matched with three Competitors who progressively encourage trust and bond with their Colt until it can finally be ridden and perform tasks traditionally reserved for a much longer “break in” period.
In two days these horses go from wild to mild in a demonstration that is nothing short of REMARKABLE.
This is a great attraction that keeps building in popularity every year.
OVER TWO DAYS:
- 3 Competitors
- 3 Different Techniques
- 3 Round Pens
- 6 Untouched Colts
Three horses that have never been ridden…
Top Australian Horseman and Woman who all have National & International Horse Training experience.
…A MUST SEE AT THIS YEARS AGGROW EMERALD FIELD DAYS…
