WHAT WILL MY HORSE LEARN?
In the Foundational Education Program your horse will learn all of the CWH Foundation skills that will serve them throughout the rest of their lives. Our priority is to ensure your horse is safe, enjoyable to be around and ride as well as confident and proficient in their education. The CWH Training Horse Program is for those seriously committed to their horse’s education. The skills on the ground and under saddle that your horse will learn is the exact same foundation Colton instills in each of his higher level performance horses that exemplify what it means to have an education built on a solid foundation.
THIS PROGRAM IS NOT FOR EVERYONE
The CWH Training Program is for owners who want confident, willing, trustworthy horses that they can enjoy in and out of the arena and who are dedicated to developing their own knowledge, skills and understandings.

After completing the Intermediate training, horses are selected by Colton to continue their training and will be taught the Advanced level exercises. This third level is all about finessing the control you have of your horse on the ground and under saddle.
