Joe Wolter September 21-23, 2012 Colt Starting, Horsemanship, Cow Working
Colt Starting --Morning -$450 $15/ day cattle charge for cow working
Growing up in Grass Valley, CA, Joe grew up loving horses, but his family didn't have a ranch, he discovered a Thoroughbred farm next door to the local grammar school. He spent time there cleaning stalls and helping with the breeding. After high school, he got a job on a ranch in Nevada, soon leaving there to work for Ray Hunt on another ranch. He wanted to learn, watching Ray and seeing what he could get done, and how horses acted around him. He knew that in other places, peoples answer for a horse problem was to get more people. He spent as much time as possible with Ray and Bill Dorrance. Joe's horsemanship clinics are designed to create a comfortable environment where people feel confident to try new things and expand their skill level with their horses. Clinic sessions include colt starting, cow working and horsemanship.
