Pruning a hedge

I have this year planted a 75m run of Cotoneaster franchetii
Most went in as 75cm plants and are now well over 1.5m .. but of course curved stems, not vertical growth
They are going well ... flowering now over, and berries are out ... how much should I prune in first year ... do I just take around a 1/3rd off the main leaders.
Or do I only prune off new growth ... looking to get them to bush out before I aim to get to final height.
