✨ Starting a Colt Tackless | 2 1/2-Year-Old First Rides with No Tack! ✨

Clicker Training Success – No Bits, No Saddles, Just Trust!

Solar’s second adult passenger ever—and we rode completely tackless! This is the beauty of clicker training in action.

Born right here at Starr Horse Retreats on August 7, 2022, Solar has never known force, fear, or separation from his family. He was raised with pure positive reinforcement, surrounded by his mother and our herd of 17, free to grow into his fullest expression without coercion or constraint.

The result? A horse who is truly balanced, confident, and connected—so much so that I can ride him with absolutely nothing on him. No bit, no saddle, no bridle… just trust, communication, and love.

This is living proof of what’s possible when we honor horses as sentient, intelligent beings and build relationships based on mutual respect.

Watch this incredible moment and witness the magic for yourself!
