THE FOUNDATION

60 Days

Follow a variety of horses through their initial rides. This series is completely raw and unedited; we don’t remove the bumps. Colt starting, even on the smoothest days, never goes as planned. Dusty Whitford shows you how to overcome each training obstacle to put on the most important rides in a horse’s career. The first ride is the most important, followed by the second.

About the Trainer

Dusty Whitford

Dusty Whitford (Glen Rose, Texas) has been a professional colt starter for 25 years. He has developed a system for starting colts that eliminates human answers and relies on answers that come from the way horses think. 6 years ago he began working for Hall of Fame trainers and began his career as a cutting and cow horse specialist. He has since seen finalists from his program in many major futurities. “Forward motion is the answer to 99% of Colt starting problems” -Dusty
In Season 3 we follow the 2024 training crop in Dusty Whitford's program. Dusty has assistant Garrett Oland to help with colt starting this year. Watch a group of different horses at different stages of training progress from groundwork to graduation when they are broke enough to start learning their specific jobs in the performance horse world.
Millie is a 2022 filly by Metallic Malice out of a Boonsmal Cee Lena mare. She is a fiery young lady that has a tendency to react and go straight to the flight instinct. She may take longer than other horses to be calm and confident, but all the feel she has can lead to a great cutting horse. Her full brother Peter was in the Cutting Horse series in Season 6.
