Clinton Andersons Best Book Yet
|
| by Candy from Star, ID |
| Its an easy read for those of us time-challenged multi-taskers who rarely have time to finish an entire "conventional" horse-training book.
Its a GREAT guide to the progression of Clintons training method and covers what Downunder Horsemanship MATERIALS videos in particular one should study at each step of the way. I like it a lot more than his first book - this one should be called "DownUnder Horsemanship for Dummies" or "The Ten-Minute DUH Manager" - it is so well-organized and will make a terrific reference manual for those of us who want to go back and fill in the "holes" in our horses educations. Maybe they will come out with a small-format paperback we can keep in our pocket at all times.
It lists 20 lessons horses have taught him and that you will need to understand in order to teach YOUR horses. For those of us who are Mark Rashid fans, Clintons new book strikes a chord; each lesson kicks off with a story about a particular horse whose particular "issue" or "issues" added another building block to Clintons education.
Plus, though Ive read the story of Clintons evolution from "just a normal kid" to the leading trainer of SEVERAL generations, somehow this book clarifies that progression in a very entertaining and illuminating manner. I am ever so much more in awe of his talent than I was before, and yet the book isnt written in a bragging manner. In fact Im not sure even CLINTON realizes how remarkable he is.
What I love about it is that at times you actually believe that if YOU apply yourself to the study of horsemanship as assiduously as did Clinton, you might grow up to be famous. Me, Id happily settle for being able to train TWO horses to a decent degree of accomplishment - MY two. This book will help a LOT. And Im only halfway through it.
I love the title of the last chapter - truer words were never spoken - something about most people who hope to turn the corner in their horsemanship quit before they ever get to the corner.
In my estimation this book will definitely take you AT LEAST to the corner. Read it, keep it handy as a reference tool, apply its lessons to your own horse and you can, like Clinton, go wherever your dreams may take you. |
A must read!

| I was so excited when this arrived on my porch! Its a book that will leave you with a smile on your face. Its great to listen to Clintons struggles as he was a young boy with his first horse, because those are a lot of the struggles we have today. |
Clintons Best & Most Useful Book Yet

| 20 lessons his horses have taught him; an easy read and a terrific reference tool. Im hoping therell be a POCKET version I can keep with me in the round pen and in the saddle. I dont think anyone could make horse training any clearer or simpler. THANKS CLINTON! Now maybe we need the COMPANION VIDEO to this book... |
