Gary Hunt

"All through my rodeo career I broke horses for various ranches just to pay my entry fees. In 1984, I retired from rodeo and got serious about breaking and training horses."

"It was about that time a good friend of mine introduced me to Dave Manning. He was 6 times Canadian Working Cow Horse champion and also was runner-up in the world one year. I ended up working with Dave for several months, and boy, he taught me a bunch!"

"After I left Dave's I had the opportunity to manage a thoroughbred farm where I started breaking 2 year olds for the race track. After a couple of years, I began training race horses myself and did so for 10 years."

"For the last 13 years I've been starting horses at my ranch just outside of Black Diamond, Alberta where I have Hunt's Breaking & Training Centre."

"Now, I'm interested in getting the word out there and I believe, by viewing my video, you'll find my method an easy way to start your colts."

"Over the years, I've started hundreds of colts and have refined a method that seems to work for all breeds of horses."

"I'm hoping that after viewing this video you will find something that will be helpful to you in starting your own colt."

"My step-by-step method outlines a program that will get you off the ground and up on your horse in five 45 minute sessions."

"I believe that the key to breaking any horse is by developing his trust in you. This Easy Start Method builds up the colts trust in you, one step at a time."

Gary Hunt's Easy Start Method for Breaking Colts covers five days of instruction with three horses, all with different temperaments, for a quick, easy and effective way to start your colt. There is 3 hours and 41 minutes of instruction on a 2 disk set.

The first disk begins with Gary Hunt's rodeo and racing background and moves into a Demonstration of Ground Manners and also introduces the Equipment for Day 1 and Day 2 sessions.  The second disk completes the program with Day 3, Day 4 and Day 5.

Day 1 - Sacking Out and Saddling

On Day one, he will warm up the colt going both directions, then he sacks him out with his hands.  Then, with his sack out blanket.  He will brush the colt and saddle him and lets the colt move out with the saddle on.

Day 2 - Sacking Out and Saddling Head-to-Tail

Day two is a repeat of Day One, with the addition of tying the colt's head to his tail. 

Day 3 -  Driving Your Colt with the Halter

On day three, he sacks the colt out with a cotton rope and drives him with a halter after completing the warm up.

Day 4 -  Driving Your Colt with the Big Ring Snaffle Bit

Today, he will warm him up both ways and drive the colt with a snaffle bit.

Day 5 - Riding Your Colt 

On Day five, he will repeat Day Four, but after driving the colt, he will get on and ride.
