I’ve posted this before but Clinton motivated me 15 years ago with my horsemanship. I actually won a saddle at his tour in Memphis. We met after the show and I realized he is actually a super dude. I ride and show horses but I’m actually a basketball coach. Clinton’s advice and lessons carry over in the coaching/teaching world. Pressure and release.
Clinton is a prince among men. It's been that way since he got here. Biggest reason I was successful with my horses. If you do everything he tells you to do in the method, you will be successful as possible.
We saw Clinton at a very small clinic held at a boarding stable up near Phoenix, AZ in the late 90's. There were 10 or 15 riders (don't remember for sure) and about 15 spectators. It was at an outside arena, and very cold. Someone started a fire in a metal barrel for warmth. We drove about 2 hrs from Tucson to watch. I could tell even at that time this guy was really going somewhere. Clinton, I'm old enough to be your mother so I think I can say - that I am so proud of you! You've made it though some tough bumps in the road & came out on the other side. Good on ya!
Haw! My husband and I were there too from Oracle! I had a couple of his original video tapes that helped our horsemanship to much! I have to say that was the most fun we ever had anywhere, laughing constantly at Clinton's observations lol.
But Clinton is so great at what he does. He may not care anything about teaching but he is so awesome and inspirational as a teacher. He has a way of presenting material that inspires people. He breaks it down and makes it easy to understand so you can take it away with you and put it to use. I love Clinton and the people who want to criticize him have never taken the time to listen to him and understand what and why he does what he does!
I watched a clinic he did in Queen Creek Arizona several years ago . I lost all respect and definitely have never got it back. I didn't even bother to go back the second day.i prefer someone that has more respect for people and horses, without mentioning any names because i respect him so much.
I thought I was a potty mouth but he's got me beat. I don't remember him being that way. I started riding about the time Clinton came on the scene and have learned so much from him. He has been a huge addition to the field.
Exact same answer he gave the woman at the bar, is the answer I gave to a dame that asked me about her older horse that's been bucking all its life. It was at a barbecue and I had a few drinks, and I think the rest of group thought I was a monster. What the f ever, I was asked a question, I gave an honest answer.
I feel like hes come a long way. Meaning he seems a lot more humble and at peace. There seems to be a while he was a bit of an Ahole... He gives a lot of credit to his employees and you d9nt hear that often from owners etc
