Have you ever dreamed of, seriously considered, or actually bought a young horse? *Raises hand*

Most of us fall somewhere on that spectrum, enticed by the seemingly infinite possibilities that the unknown of a young horse offers. With low or no “miles”, young horses are exciting because we don’t know what their ceiling is - and it makes us expand our minds on what our limits are, too. 

Host Caroline Culbertson (@caroline.culbertson) is joined by 5* show jumper Kama Godek, who works with young horses on a daily basis and also has years of experience pairing horses and riders together. Kama understands what works, what doesn’t, and what young horses require. 

In this episode, they discuss: 

  • Main reasons why people seek out young or undeveloped horses (money is a big one!) 
  • Understanding if you have the setup and the skills for a young horse
  • Kama’s mental exercise of three main things to consider when considering a horse to buy
  • Pre-purchase exams on young horses and what really matters
