Do you want to feel safe when working with your horse and enjoy your time with him? Learn how to clearly communicate with him and be a leader he trusts and respects and you can! Next month, Clinton and his Certified Clinicians will be helping 20 horsemen and their horses do just that in a three-day Fundamentals Clinic taking place at the Tunica Arena and Expo in Tunica, Mississippi, October 16th – 18th.

The Fundamentals is the first level of Clinton’s horsemanship method and is made up of 27 groundwork and riding exercises. “Horses are great followers if you are a great leader,” Clinton says. “Think of the Fundamentals as the foundation of a house. I’ll be the first to admit that there’s nothing exciting about a house’s foundation; in fact, it’s the most boring part of the house. It’s also the most important. If a house’s foundation is cracked or uneven, the house is no good. A faulty foundation leads to cracks in the walls, leaks and holes. You can go around and keep patching up each little problem, but it’ll be a constant issue. The bottom line is that it doesn’t matter how fancy the rest of the house is; if the foundation is bad, the whole house is bad. The same is true of your horse. If his foundation is lacking, everything you do with him will be a struggle or impossible because he lacks the knowledge required to progress.”

To participate in the clinic, fill out an application on our website or contact Brittney at 254-552-1080 or [email protected]. Spectators are welcome to attend and can purchase tickets in advance on our website or at the door for $50/day.
