Attendees will enjoy the special 4-hour Friday evening session with Clinton Anderson who brings his teaching style that is easy to understand and apply to an every day training program. Clinton begins on Friday with "Starting your Horse Under Saddle", the method recently used to win Clinton the El Camino del Caballo. This two-day challenge featured Anderson, Curt Pate and Josh Lyons showcasing their skills in gentle horsemanship while entertaining the audience. It started with 10 wild colts, with Clinton drawing one by the name of Hancock Sug, who excelled under the guidance of Clinton Anderson. The results of Anderson’s trust and partnership with Hancock Sug, named Clinton the current "Colt Starting Champion". See for yourself why people are proclaiming, "It was just amazing what Clinton did with his colt. It might never be matched."
