Training:

Each year Matt takes a limited number of horses in for training. We request that you commit to 90 days of training. This provides him with enough time to get a solid Matt and Luna Mustang Challenge Champion 2008foundation on your horse and hopefully haul it to some clinics or lessons. This gives you a solidly started horse for your money.

What to expect from your first 90 days: Your horse should walk, trot, lope comfortably. He should stop nicely, back and turn over the hocks. The horse should be comfortable being ridden both in and out of the arena, on a man made trail course and natural obstacles. He will have a rope swung off of him and also have dragged a log. Time is also devoted to developing excellent ground manners. As time allows colts will be used at various clinics and demonstrations. Your horse may also be introduced to working a mechanical or live cow.

Because of his colt starting program, Matt is receiving more requests to take prospects for versatility ranch horse, and cow horse events. We are currently accepting only a few outside horses per year due to Matt's busy schedule.
