Clinton Anderson

A couple friends and I were able to go to Kalispell to see Clinton Anderson on tour. (http://www.downunderhorsemanship.com/) He is a horse trainer originally from Australia. He is all about gaining your horse's respect. It was a very informative and interesting weekend. I have found a lot of his training techniques to be really helpful with Rio. Rio tends to be a little disrespectful. For example, when I first got Rio I was enthraled with how friendly he was and how he always wanted to be next to me. That was okay, but I didn't set any boundaries and pretty soon I was been pushed around and shouldered into. That was somewhat uncomfortable and a little worrisome as he is ~ 8 times bigger than me! Anyways, I'm sure anxious to try the things I learned with Rio.
P.S. The picture is of Jen, myself and Courtney in front of Clinton's huge semi.
