I do not approve of the way Clinton Anderson uses the metal unit on his halter lead line, to hit the horses chin for disiplening. I feel it is not necessary to do this. There are other ways to get the horses attention!
Your wrong, actually he uses it to get a horse to not pull you around the arena un less you like to be pulled but I have been following his method of training and maybe it didnt work for you because you were doing it wrong
And also what are your ways of lunging a horse?, and I wouldn’t be saying that considering he is the most famous horse trainer in the world and your not.:)
is that why people let him train there horse its not like people go to you to train there horse is it get the point get the point ms i mean mr not now it all hey at least my cousin katie the one that commented you nows what shes saying
Ladies, I think that disliking a certain aspect of a trainer’s methods does not mean that person’s own training methods are questionable. The difference between a good trainer and a famous trainer may have more to do with marketing than methods. It is wise, regardless of what training methods you use, to ask questions, evaluate results and base your opinions from your conclusions. And like the old saying, many roads lead to Rome, many methods, or combination of them, can lead to a well behaved (or badly behaved) horse.
Regarding correction of the horse; I dont know if you have watched a mare and foal interact or horses out in the pasture but this type of correcton is the norm for horses, they do not ask each other if they are hurt; discipline is swift and serious and the horses do not nag or beg for each others respect.The short bite of a rope is more humane than constant nagging. Unless correction is made in a timely and serious way you have a out of control 1000 lb plus animal able to do serious harm.
Have a good day!
