Part 1
Wes starts a 2 year old filly and he shows you how and why he gets a colt to stop on the lunge line as a soon as possible. He also explains how he keeps a horse's focus on him and why it's so important to get these fundamentals on any young horse that is to go on and be successful in any western discipline.

"A colt isn't broke until you get control of his feet," Wes says. He learnt this from his father in-law and he demonstrates how to teach a horse to lead with his feet and the key is the timing of your release. He also shows you how he prepares a horse by using a lariat to accept the cinch and saddle.
