Seriously, the first half of the video almost had me in tears. It truly is amazing how us as humans can build such an amazing relationship with our horses.
I saw him perform the first one this past spring. And i just cried my eyes out! I love his way with horses and I can just hope that I have that good of a bond with my horse! Thank you sooo much for uploading this!
I just saw him last weekend here in NC and it was AMAZING!! And he is such a nice guy! Answering and smiling to everybody at the end, even though he was probably tired!
This is the best advertisement for Clinton that I have seen. I have never seen him work without a round pen before. He and Mindy have a great bond and mutual respect. My goal is to get my horse to do this.
that was one of the most beautiful things i have ever seen. The first part was wonderful, that horse has to adore him to trust him like that...its fantastic!!
Mindy and clinton are an inspiration to me for how well they work together, thru alot of practice and patience. Besides respect, I believe there is love there also. I watch this video often for all the inspiration it gives me, and I would be honored to meet Clinton someday, and even better yet, see my horse doing that(one can dream, right!)
Oh what a beautiful horse - how wonderful to be a part of something so awesome - to be blessed enough to have such a wonderful creature love you, trust you - and to see such a wonderful man full of love to this majestic creature - God Bless both of you
I love how catty mindy is, but how quiet and gentle as well...what a good lil horse...soooooo many hours of training...like...every day for YEARS... :)
If horses could talk I bet they would all say "Thank-you, Mr. Anderson, for waking up the world of horse enthusiasts to a true understanding of our feeble minds." God bless Clinton Anderson. I hope that he is truly happy and living his dream.
everytime I watch this I get goosebunps.. awesome bond between him and Mindy, I have seen him in person and its even better then here on youtube. If you have horses, I definatly recommend seeing one of his clinics
Wow, I'm teary-eyed! I want this for Abby and I and am awaiting the arrival of my first set of Clinton's dvd's! I'm going to watch, study, and apply his techniques.
Yes thank you for uploading. I have been to two tours and plan on going to another this year in NE. I learn more and more everytime. It still brings tears to my eyes everytime I see it. I did get the chance to see him freestyle with Diaz and it is just as amaising!!
I love this man. He handles horses how cowboys (and people in general) should. He doesn't "cowboy" his horses like some do. I have learned so much from him. :)
I love Clinton! I have his halters and his stick and his tie ring! I love his meathods!! He is the best horse trainer! I used all of his techniques on my horses and they respect me compleatly! I love going too his shows and I have been watching him in tv even before I had a horse! I love him and he does an amazing job with horses! I love Mindy as well! Me and my mom got too meet her one time! She is amazing!
a good friend of mine just used his methods on my quarter horse, within 10 min. he was a totally different horse relaxed calm and willing to learn he flexed and was wonderful! I will deffinately be using his methods from now on!
I heard he got her as a weanling. Great payoff to training invested!!! What a wonderful horse!!! Great job Mr. Anderson, Excellent show of horsemanship!!!
If the only time you see your horse, you have a saddle over your arm, that is why you will never be able to do what this man can. Patience, leadership & a love for his horse. Proper Horseman!
mindy's thinking " NO WAIT, BUDDY!! DON'T LEAVE ME!!" Thanks for posting this vid. i totally like this part. its one of my favorite clinton anderson vids!!
He is Amazing!! And it is quite obvious that Mindy trusts him A LOT. She is not doing all of that out of fear at all!! Its just breath taking to watch!! He is so amazing!!!
I personally like most of them: Clinton, Parelli, Cameron, Westfall, Lynn, Reis, Garland, Cox, Monty Roberts and many others. In my humble opinion, whoever can train a horse to perform so beautifully, like these guys, is a great horseman and have all my admiration! I only wish to achieve, one day, with my horses,half of what they do!
It's really great to see him live, but if you can buy his dvds, you can learn a lot and if you put A LOT of time into training your mare, you can have her trained as good as Mindy! It doesn't have to be just a dream!
You and me both. His method had helped me turn my Arabian from and go and no slow...to a nice calm trail horse. And through just a summer of the method we are starting to experiment with liberty
absolutly amazing stunning perfect speechless (in a good way) I can't describe how amazing this is! Clinton Anderson Rocks!!!! Great job to Mindy, too! =D
I LOVE YOU CLINTON ANDERSON!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D I follow your Methods on ALL of the horses I train! :D I am working with a crazy young gelding right now ... and your method works WONDERS!!! :D
I am in the process of turning a rescue mule of Skippper W lineage back into a normal reacting mule , who completely broke down from a Clinton encounter. This may work with a horse, although from any equine's point of view this must seem a series of odd tasks, but with a very intelligent mare mule it took 14 consistent months of normal requests to get her to trust a person. This video helped me understand what had caused her very odd reactions. Not every technique will work with everything
Wonderful horseman, allows the horse enough attitude to have a personality so it wants to work for him as a partnership rather than being bullied into it and becoming resentful. Its all about having trust and respect for each other. This mare loves him. Shame there are too many out there that are trying to imitate him but getting it wrong, misleading novice owners and putting them at real risk
I like the way he uses the stick. that big white one is way more visible to the horse than a traditional dressage whip. i put white tape on mine after seeing this and it helped a lot. i never had to whip comet with it or anything, but he responds to much more subtle cues when he can see it easily.
All of you out there that appreciate the best in horsemanship, I strongly urge you to view Pablo Hermoso. The bravery, the bond, the skill and the passion of horse and rider WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!!!!!!!
I get to see him in august! OMG I cant wait,im a horse trainer but in no way am I any thing like him. Maybe one day as long as I use his technics!! Hes just awsome him and Westfall! Both amazing!!!
he is AMAZING!! i love him!! and all of you that think is cruel or that the horse is doing all of that out of fear are wrong!!!! That horse totally trusts him!!!!
Some friends dragged me kicking and scheming to the Walkabout tour in K.C. last month. I was won over. C.A. is a great showman and communicator. He makes natural training methods look uncomplicated and doable even for me. I loved seeing him do this with Diaz.
when anyone that dislikes this video can compete with everything Clinton does in this video, then i will maybe understand. but until then, people need to understand that this is true horsemanship at it's best. when a horseperson can be just as efficient with their horse on the ground as their are in saddle, they are truly an amazing hand.
The crowd Clinton Anderson attracts is so low-keyed and laid back. There aren't any loonies out there yelling, "Clinton, I want to have your baby!" LOL Even though he's an absolutely phenomenal teacher/horseman.
He is using the whip on the ground and it makes a certain noise by which the horse is trained by and at certain times. CA is truly and amazing trainer, I wish I knew how to train like that.
I was trianing a young horse a little less than a year old. It was ruff. We whould get frusrated and she whould rear on her hind legs. With Clintons method I have learn what, how and when of what to do. The horse is 2 years old now and has started easy begaining rideing. She has not buck once so far. Thanks to Clinton, me and my horse has better chance of having a good partnership. ^_^
