Saving “Unrideable” Horses

Thanks to Clinton and the Method, I am able to give horses a second chance at life. My mare was unrideable for 14 years before I started the Method with her. Anytime someone would get on her, she’d buck like crazy. Once I started the Method with her all that changed. After just one month of training, my nephew, who had no previous riding experience, could safely ride her. Now, I can ride her bitless and bareback, even if she’s had months of pasture rest, with no incident.

I have since rescued another horse that is “unrideable” and have been using the Method on her as well. Clinton’s knowledge has given both of these horses a second chance at life. I’ve shared what I’ve learned with everyone I can and have become highly respected as a person that can help people with “problem horses” in my area. I never ask for monetary compensation for my help … I do it for the horses and to educate those around me to be better horsemen and women.

Thank you so much for the Method, Clinton. I could barely walk two years ago and would spend hours sitting on my horse trying to rehab myself through medical issues. This is the same horse I was told hundreds of times was unrideable and would kill me someday. I saved her life, and in return she has saved mine. I am forever grateful for that. This horse is my world and best friend, and without Clinton Anderson’s show on TV, it wouldn’t have been possible.
