Your guide to starting horses with clarity, confidence, and care.

In this 8-lesson video series, you’ll follow the journey of Cobalt, a 3-year-old Zangershiede gelding, as he’s introduced to training through a blend of classical, English, and Western
techniques.

You’ll learn to:

• Build trust and confidence in young or green horses
• Apply foundational groundwork in any environment (round pen optional!)
• Understand the “why” behind each step—so your horse stays willing, soft, and curious
• Release your own nervous energy in one move — so your horse can settle and trust you from the moment you walk in
• Read the quiet horse — learn to spot the subtle facial and body signals in horses who internalize, so you catch the moment before they tell you with their feet
• Understand driveline — the concept horses already use with each other, and why respecting it changes everything about how your horse sees you as a leader
• Master the round pen as a space of discovery — not pressure, not chasing — and learn how to introduce new concepts so your horse stays curious
• Work through the fundamentals in sequence: grooming, driving, rhythm and timing with the hind end, and switching eyes — each one building on the last
• Become the leader your horse is looking for — so he can hand over the job of worrying and just be with you
• Manage the five-inch playing field — the small but critical boundary that tells your horse exactly where you stand, every single time
