I trained my horse following his method, i have trained and train many horses following his method and i can't thank him enough for putting 27 plus years of his knowledge and experience at my disposal.. I know have a well broke, extremely soft, save and quite horse...

clinton anderson a dam good horse trainer and his method really works .love to do one of your reining clinic's one day . your truly one of the best horseman in the world that's no shade of grey

It was terribly funny watching Clinton Anderson act like all the naive horse owners that try to reason there horses into doing something, or trying to sweet talk this horse into the trailer in the first part of the video. I have watched all his KZfaq videos and recently ordered the dvd kits from him. He absolutely knows what he is doing and his method has helped me a ton with my horses.... absolutely love this guy and his training methods!!!!!

More force than necessary ? When I hear this kind of talk from people, it's always from people who have not trained horses. He is telling that horse to move out of his space in a much kinder way than horses tell other horses in their herd to get back and pay attention. Besides that, this animal is gigantic, and it getting into a person's space is extremely dangerous, I'm sure I don't have to tell you. He makes his point to the horse clear without doing the horse any real harm.

I agree with you completely. I can't stand it when people don't understand what true "force" is, because this is definitely not it. I feel that many people need to learn how to observe horse as well as human behavior. And they need to learn that you can't train a horse simply by sweat talking to them and feeding them treats. Making a horse move its feet is a great method of training because it teacheshorses to figure things out themselves. It's not force, it's simply pressure and release.

This is the most positive way of loading a horse in a trailer that I have ever experienced, He should we awarded for his way and to be able to make it so simple for people to understand how a different approach is a longlasting manner to stressly load your horse for the rest of his life.

If you don't like Clinton, then why watch his videos?

I just read through most the comments...sure horses are stupid NOT. People are the ones making the mistakes. Ive dealt with horses for many years and im no trainer just learned by experience and from experienced horse persons. Yes you want to keep your horse out of your space. I have a Saddlebred mare that was a problem loading in a trailer. If she saw a trailer in the distance automatic panic mode. Yeah ive had to pop her with a whip and smack her on the nose. It was a helluva lot better than getting trampled by a almost 17hh horse. Ive done the same with my quarter mare for being pushy or trying to be aggresive. A spoiled horse is the worst and most dangerous. Not all methods work with every horse sometimes you just have to ask yourself whats not working or what am i doing wrong. Best teaching tool ever...video yourself and trust me you can spot the mistakes and also you can see what you and your horse need to work on.

He is so fluent around horses.

Love him Clinton great horseman with humor😊

hes hitting her, gently, with a very lightweight whip to show she can't run over him. its not like he enjoys hitting horses, he's doing it for a reason. i would rather hit a horse to reprimand it than be trampled..

I love Rick Gore and have watch many many of his videos. I watch his trailer loading video after i seen this video and if you pay really close attention, Rick Gore's method and Clinton Anderson method is super close to the same. Rick Gore mentions sending his horse by the trailer and making him comfortable around, walking him close to it and backing him off of it. Clinton does the same thing in this video. So before yall start judging, how about paying close attention. Just sayin.!

Thanks so much for posting!

First of all note two things : 1) it's only extracts so we can't see all the process at play ; 2) until 3:15 it's only examples of what people usually do when a horse won't go straight in the trailer (and these aren't close to the worst ones...). Then CA explains that if your horse won't feel confortable being along a fence and when not feeling comfy do push or drag you away without any regards on your safety (and his by the way), these are things to clarify first. Yes he does bump on the halter or tap with the stick but only when the horse's behavior tends to be dangerous for himself or CA. Notice also that instead of running head down to the problem, CA makes sure that the horse struggles and solves one situation at a time. This way, at 8:50, when they open the trailer, the horse steps inside by himself ! The lesson is of course not finished but that's some proof that instead of forcing the horse to get in he's led him to want to !! Plus this horse gets careful about what he is doing, for his safety's sake and the one of the human besides him... the exact opposite of what he did before...

I don't even know where to begin, and since no one is going to win this argument, because it is opinion based, let me say these final thoughts.1) there are videos of clinton riding tackless, try finding vids of him and his personal horse mindy (2) There are vids showing parelli absolutely hauling on horse's mouths - finished horses who do not need that kind of force. It's brutal to watch, honestly, and finally (3) If you're just going by success, CA is wildly successful and so are his methods

Reverse Psychology. I love it.

if you knew clinton at all - at the beginning of this...he is doing this to show everyone what the typical horse owner does to get the horse into a trailer. LOL!

cowgirlrapuzel is correct. This method works for any type of trailering issue, whether not wanting to get out, wanting to get out, or refusing to get in. All of these trailering issues stem from either fear, lack of respect or both. His method works because it gets your horse respectful, and works out the fear at the same time.

Clinton your an really cool guy. and I hope soon to come see you some day.

Clinton's method did wonders on my horse. It's funny looking at the comments on here about what Clinton was doing on how it's wrong and that he' traumatising the horse. If you think about it though horses are fight or flight animals and in reality he's just mimicking herd behavior using pressure release system like you would see between two horses. All he's doing is just getting the horse out of his panic state or flight state and then make him realize he has relief and safety in the trailer.

Incredible.

he doesn't use force and you would know that if you watched the whole video, smarty pants. He was showing you what NOT to do, like pulling. If you watch the whole video you will see he does groundwork to get the horse to lighten up and be calm around the trailer. By the end of the video you see the mare walks into the trailer without Clinton Anderson having to pull her.

First off, the so called "fear" that you speak of is over the trailer, not the stick. You obviously have no idea what is going on here. Getting a horse to move it's feet is not abuse. No so called "force" is being used at all. I have seen real abuse and force used and he is definitely not using either of the two. You really need to learn the difference between proper training and abuse/neglect, because it's obvious that you have no idea what that is.

you are good at horsemanship.

I totally love how Clinton makes fun of the owner by having them try to load their horse! Hahaha totally funny but he allows us to see in our minds what we all probably look like too!

Try to practice the sending exercise he demonstartes and slowly move ur mare closer and closer to the trailer and practice it before she gets worked up and then move in closer, i've tried this method with my gelding and i was able to get him inside my trailer and staqnding quietly in under 30 minutes

@superkrunt Clinton Anderson says just because your horse gets into the trailer, it doesn't mean that she WANTS to be in the trailer. If your mare craved to be on it, oviously she would not be wanting to get off in a hurry. If you watch his videos on this subject and understand his "why" reasoning and follow his methods, I guarantee you will be able to fix her problem! I have poured over many of his demos with all sorts of crazy and disrespectful horses, and his method works! Good luck!

I could only use Clinton's method on my horse, and I did try Pat's. Though if you watch horses in the wild to them it's "get out of my way now." In a herd horse will deliver a bite that will or could bleed, they will deliver a kick that will swell up and bruise. This is a good method that works. My horse trusts me so much, and he listens. Where as before he was walking all over me with Pat's method, but I do think he is also a very good horseman.

Clinton is my favorite. I am an alpha female, so I see these techniques, any deserved timed yelling....etc...and humiliation is funny to me, because we know all the goofy things we do are from learned behavior, not personal attacks ,...lol Military brat helps too

The horse wont go to the trailer. Work the horse hard away from the trailer then when the horse wants a break take him to the trailer to have a break. Eventually the horse realizes the trailer is the nice spot and will actually take you to the trailer then eventually get in

Well of course hes going to whack her on the nose, she was practically running him over and didn't understand personal space. If my horse walks on top of me like that, no way would I just let him get away with it.

While I am a fan of Clinton Anderson and his method. I truly believe that this works on 80 to 95 percent of horses. It worked on my mare. BUT, my 3 yr old POA/QUARTER gelding after 4 1/2 hrs of trying still doesn't go into trailer. I challenge anyone, including Clinton, to come to my home and do it.

He is good

How can I use this method with a horse that has an old leg injury and is chronically lame? She's loaded fine for the three years I've owned her and has now started to refuse to get on. It's hard to get her to move around this much due to her old injury.

If you put a light inside the trailer, would it help? Can't blame a horse for not wanting to go into a dark cave, but if it looks like an inviting stall, that could help.

I wish everyone who said how horrible this,was would go and train a horse 'the right way ' and show use mortals how it's done.

My Four year old acts just like this mare, but where this mare would let her owner and Clinton pull on her head at the beginning, my horse would be fighting that tooth and nail. I need to give this method a try.

8:51 Minute great result ! Good Job ..

c est tres interessant

get in mah belleh!!! haha

I know Clinton Anderson

SuperKrunt: If she's desperate to get back out then she's not that happy to go on even tho she looks fine. I would spend a lot more time loading/unloading, a few steps up the ramp then back off, all the way then back out again, all the way in, leave her to stand without tying up, she should be happy to stay there without being tied but don't make her stay, if she backs out then send her back in, until she is happy to stay in there for a while, untied.

What I have found to be the easiest on people and horse is when you know you are going to take your horse somewhere two or three days before back the trailer into a round pen or any lot and feed then grain and hay in it, and it that doesn't work put the water in it too. But the lot must be a dry lot (no grass or weeds) and the horse should be alone. The horse may not go in for 6 hours but it WILL go in that day.

🤩🤩🤩

Its all relative.Every trainer out there has used force at some point....Parelli included.

I've watched Pat Parelli and of course Clinton Anderson. The horses Pat works with don't seem to really listen to him. Clinton is almost trying to impersonate a horse that is at the top of the totem pole by saying "don't run me over, listen to me." He is getting a horses respect and trust. A horse will only respect and trust someone that takes control and leads. Clinton's methods work and it isn't abuse or anything bad.

I'd bet you used something else to put pressure on a horse, a rope probably, which he uses as well. What method would you use then, to move a horse immediately out of your space? The method I see most often is people backing up and teaching the horse a bad lesson - that it can push you. If a thwap on the nose or neck is not an option at all for you, then I'd say you've trained some pretty tame, well mannered horses. And some people are that lucky - most are not.

You shouldn't force a horse into the trail the horse needs to want to come in the trailer

Horses will bite to draw blood or injure and it's the same when they kick.. This stick is nothing compared to what another horse can dish. Plus it's just copying another horse without the same strength.

This is an old post but just popped into my feed, I use Clintons techniques and I’m up here in New Hampshire and let me say the majority of people up here just want to love love love on their animals and have no concept of animal psychology, so it’s a constant battle, oh your being mean putting pressure on the horse or too much pressure or working him to hard or you shouldn’t wave the stick and string in their face. It’s ridiculous and difficult to find a place that isn’t against Clintons techniques and I always tell them we do what works for a the animal not you.

My Horse Never Does That Not Unless Someone Else Tries To Load Him !

And this is why he's the best. :)

I didn't have time to watch all of this but, I hate it when people look at their horses like the girl was in the start of this. If a horse doesn't load or say go into a wash rack for example, their nit going to go in with you staring at them. I always laugh a bit when I tell people to quit looking at them and just walk in naturally, and their shocked when the horse does what is asked.

I literally could of done that in 5 minutes…. I’ve never hit a horse, I’ve taken on horses that no hope to slaughter and they have been rehabbed to new homes…. You need to sit with a herd and understand them, they speak, unfortunately not English, he did ok, but kindness does better xo ❤

we ranch, I don't have time to play, I back the trailer to the gate.and four horses in the round pen.. I drop a couple flakes of hay up front, and walk away, within a few mins I have two loaded, close the half gate do the same at the back and im outta there in 10 mins..

In the wild you do NOT see a lead mare or stallion say please get out of my space. By the pinning of ears they are saying get away or get out of my space NOW! If the horse fails to listen to the warning it is followed by a kick or bite ect. The stick is mimmicking this behavior. If you actually knew anything about his training method you would know that there are steps leading up to the tapping or "whacking" A 100lb man with a freaking stick could do no more harm than a 1000lb animal could do.

well that sucked that it wasnt all of it....

Yes, he's obviously really forcing the horse, tapping her with a stick. That 1000 pound animal must really feel forced, y'a know, what with the way the 100 pound man is lightly tapping her with a carrot stick until she takes a step in the right direction.

youre looking at this wrong...have you seen what horses do to eachother??? i hate it when people put "people over-emotion" on animals. hes not forcing her to do anything, how much bigger and stronger is she than him really????? people bitch and moan about this way or that, he got her on the trailer WITHOUT being forceful because force doesnt work on horses, or didnt you know that. he gave her 2 choices "try" and get rewarded (release) or dont and work (pressure) duh...

Yet people say Pat hobbles horses or twitches them. They are both good. I've seen more success with Clinton's method than Pat's.

There are other methods. The horse is going to kill the owner if this keeps up. He’s dead right. He then goes on to be effective. Is he trying to entertain? Yes but he has to earn a living. He’s being a bit of a showman, admittedly

Very poor quality video - picture is bouncy/choppy - hard to watch.

parelli does it with more finesse.

There is fear and theres pig awkward & you have fear ask your vet about a light oral sedative to take the edge of her and try feeding her on the ramp or step for a few days and keep moving the feed closer inwards until she's happy to stand in it and eat. then spend a few days just leading her straight through if you can. I travel a nervous horse the first time with a placid old hand and just go slowly around the local road and back to the yard Dont rush it.

He has no idea what he's doing. He tugs on the rope, tugging on the horses face, which you should never do. He made the horse nervous. He made the horse not trust him. I'm tired of people thinking this is okay, if you don't know how to treat a horse, you shouldn't have one.

He needs to learn to stop repeatedly yanking on the rains or the halter and yes I have seen the video of him chasing a poor mare around and hitting it with a stick until the horse is so confused she flips over. He is not an expert trainer he forces the horses to listen by fear gaining respect? more like being forced into something you are very uncomfortable with!

Well he is obviously doing a lot better off than you now isn't he? So leave him be if you don't like it. Go be a hater somewhere else. Your rudeness is not wanted nor needed.

I would never travel a lame horse if she looses her balance even slightly she could go down. Not what you want, she's telling you that listen to her Is she on pain meds?

well we have seen plenty of horses that pat parelli has hobbled, slapped, and twitched, just to get a bit in his mouth. So you call a smack on the neck with that stick--because the horse was practically running him over and not respecting his space--abuse??

ok so if this technique is wrong then why is he one of the best in ther world and has sold thousands of dvd's and his horses are great!!!!!!??

There is no release for the horse and they are making the float the problem not something's that is just there and not the focus of the horses attention. I don't Clinton Anderson now and I have a few vids and each time I'm not impressed

i smell another hater!!!!!!!!!!

I have rode horses for over a decade. and even if it was with a lightweight whip I wouldn't hit a horse in the face with it. it causes a horse to be head shy.

Thing is not all horses are sweethearts there are some real sods out there who just try it on to see how far they can get with you if they boss you and you don't establish yourself ASAP its going to end badly some times you have to get tough for an easy life later on I saw a perfectly nice pony split a guys head open because he tried to play the good guy role when the pony was just having a go at taking control

"She would love to jump on top of me now" No she doesn't! She just doesn't want to go in the trailer! You shouldn't act like the horse is the enemy and you have to dominate it to make it do what you want. Pulling on its face, flapping the lead rope around, and hitting it in the face with a stick only makes the horse more stressed and confused.

I don't see you achieving much with horses, who are you again??????

Altro schifo! Ne ho fatti salire tanti, ma tanti! Sapete come? Semplicemente offrendo del fieno in una rete che ho appeso nel trailer oppure demangime o avena in un secchio. Niente frusta. Capito??? Tramacere francesco

Absolutely lost respect for him after he beat a BLIND HORSE for not backing quickly enough, made a horse flip over to get away from him, punished a horse for "moving while being mounted" when it was only shifting its weight, and makes his horse Titan touch his chest with his nose for no reason.

I disagree with his method he is good trainer but she musta be scared of that trailer now

Also this man seems to make the horse look bad and look like dangerous animal all the time. I will just stick to rick gore thank you

this guy just uses force to get the horses to do what he wants. no way you can pull a horse.

Making the horse's trauma worse. Just to get a few laughs of the audience.

I don't like this.... First he humiliates the owner, and then he furthers the horse's trauma by doing what he told the owner to do which of course was incorrect and a negative experience for the horse-all the while this eggs on the audience who of course laughs when the horse is NOT being treated as he should especially when handed over to the "professional", and then later he keeps yanking on the horse's nose and at times the yanks are not even timed well or needed. Almost like he'll add an extra yank for effect. Rope halters have a ton of force behind them with yanks like that (which, yes, I realize they can be useful or needed at times to be safe and sane for both horse and person)..... But this could have been done much better.... :\

I wasn't impressed...............

Oh my God real good for the horse all those people around please somebody watch Rick Gore horsemanship it's called think like a horse. I can't believe this is an actual Clinic help nobody paid for this. Keep pulling keep pulling who on Earth would say that about a horse.

You have to be kidding me? You hit my horse in anyway I will hit you. Good job lady you now made your horse terrified more of the trailer than she was. Have you ever thought she never felt safe in the trailer? Some like the slanted..some like the straight in... Some like 3 or more.. Or even the 2.

the worst way to tralier a horse

Incompetent bully why is he still around horses?

This is a nonsensical approach. There are better ways to do this.

stressed horse, the horse clearly doesnt understand. I would rather use time and a relaxed horse then chased around like this.

He's just a bully!

Rick can do way better

How to torture a horse!

I don't think there is anything funny about a horse reacting out of fear - this is PATHETIC! And Rick Gore does not teach like this - he cares for his horses not about pleasing a crowd and making them laugh at horses expense! And what's with the stupid music inserts...:-z

I think he should NOT hit it in the face I would let my horse smell it and have a look but hitting no I never would do that and that is just a bout mean hitting it in the face ah I proffer Jamie

He hits horses so bad on orher video’s he thinks he does wonders but all he does is make traumas

This is NOT a serious method!!!!! Im so sad to see this kind of things!!!!! NO NO NO!

*ANIMAL ABUSE*

So cruel, you always disable the comments because you know what you're doing is wrong! Just let the foal be with its mother and don't give us dumb excuses and say stupid stuff like "you don't know what you're talking about, you don't know our methods" because all I have to know is that the foals you claim to "train" have all the rights to be with their mother and humans should respect them and not, mess with them by: lunging foals that have NOT even got there bones developed, taking the foal away from its mother etc. This makes me so angry and more people should realise that this is WRONG!!!

He's the best cause he hits the horse on the nose...??
