Horsewoman's Touch
Colt Start


Being Held on 27th, 28th & 29th March 2026
at Australia's Greatest Horsewoman Event
Tatura Park, Tatura Victoria, Australia
The Horsewoman’s Touch Colt Start is a signature event that blends horsemanship, communication, and the art of starting a young horse with softness and feel.
Held over three dynamic days, this unique showcase will feature three exceptional horsewomen, each taking on the challenge of starting an unhandled colt. They’ll work through three sessions, building trust, guiding progress, and demonstrating their approach to true partnership — all in front of a live audience.
The event culminates in an inspiring final session on Sunday, 29th March where each competitor presents their colt in a judged round that highlights their progress, mindset, and connection.
This is more than a competition — It is educational and it’s a celebration of thoughtful horsemanship and a rare insight into the early foundations of training. Whether you're a horse lover, trainer, or aspiring colt starter, The Horsewoman’s Touchpromises to educate, inspire, and leave a lasting impression.
