Seeking a Trainer

I have a young gelding here who is about 2.5 yrs old and needs backing. I am not setup to start a youngster here and need someone who is willing to put '30' days on him to get him going. He has had saddle on him, has been bitted and longes with full tack. We are still working on ground driving. He has regular hoof care and is UTD on all shots, deworming etc. He is fearless and kind. Please contact me if you can take on a colt to start this fall.

I agree, starting a colt is SO important to their future success- unfortunately I do not 'know' many people in the area so I am hoping to scare some possibilities up here!! :D

I would be very hestitant to just send him to anyone. Check out everyone who shows interest and ask around about their experience with training young horse. You only get one time to get it right and if he has a bad experience it will take alot more time and energy and money to fix him. tread carefully.
As I said good luck
