NILE Colt Classic

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

The Colt Classic is a new program that will bring together various 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 was the Inaugural Colt Classic Clinic and was a huge success. Bill Oliver worked with seven colts through the 2020 NILE Fall Stock Show at Miller's Horse Palace. These colts were a hot commodity during the 2020 Gold Buckle Select Horse Sale and sold for up to $6,500.

ALL colts participating in the clinic will be offered for sale on Saturday, October 23rd at the 2021 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 Bill Oliver Horsemanship 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.
