NILE Colt Classic

The NILE is proud to partner with Oliver Horses from Cody, WY and introduce the NILE Colt Classic!!

The Colt Classic is a new program that will bring together many components of the horse industry into one extraordinary collaboration. The goals of the program are #1 Education. #2 The young horse's mind. #3 Showcasing top producers. #4 Encouraging Youth. Please stay-tuned for updates and additional details as we develop this amazing new program.

2020's Colt Classic Inaugural Clinic will be a "Re-fresher" clinic. Bill Oliver will work with colts that have been lightly started earlier this year and turned out, for the summer, to grow. These colts will be ready for a re-introduction of the basics and will be riding around nicely by the end of the week.

ALL colts participating in the clinic will be offered for sale on Saturday, October 17th at the 2020 NILE Gold Buckle Select Horse Sale. Spectators and potential buyers will have an opportunity to see these young horses in action all week long and then raise their hand for a chance to bring one of them home on Saturday!!

The NILE is very proud to be partnering with Oliver Horses for the NILE Colt Classic. This is not just a one year clinic. We have plans to develop the Colt Classic into a yearly staple of the NILE. Stay tuned for more details as the program develops.

If you'd like to get to know the Oliver's a little better, please visit their website at www.oliverhorses.com and read the following article. Bill brings practical experience to the arena through decades of hands on, real life experience. His natural and sensible approach to training horses and educating riders sets him apart from the rest. The Oliver's are dedicated to making good horses and helping people improve their horsemanship skills.
