This is an excerpt from Amanda’s article about Clinton Anderson clinics:

I can honestly say I would not be where I am today, horse training wise, if I hadn’t done those clinics. I learned confidence in riding and training mostly from the clinics (I think the particular exercise was cantering around with only one hand on the loose reins, whizzing between other riders). I felt like I could canter forever and anywhere after that! But also, that you have to make the right thing easy and the wrong thing difficult when training, that is basic horse communication (how they learn from each other), so we need to teach that way for them to understand. Also approach and retreat, it’s the release that really teaches, not the pressure you give.

There’s far too many things to list what else I learned, but I consider myself blessed to be able to learn from him through the clinics.
