[QUOTE="Alan, post: 136618, member: 378"] Tamarackreg, You hit it on the head, couldn't and didn't say it nearly as well. I feel Clinton is the best out there, although I do have problems with all of them selling thier respetive products all through their demos, but I like Clinton the best and I have learned alot from alot of them. Alacowman, Sorry never intended any offense to you. should have seperated my message maybe, the only part of your reponse directed at you was that I agreed completly with it, I think Clinton the best. I didn't mean to imply that you were needing to buy a horse or need to know how to buy a horse. I was just simply stating that most of the "TV" horses are pretty well done with training in the area he or any of them wants to show them trained in before the cameras roll. I have watched shows where I can see the horse is going to loose it or give them some trouble and they cut and edit that part out. I think it would be great to see how they work out of a problem on TV. I wish I could remember his name right now but I can't, but on his show he was training a 2 yr old on water crossing without edit that I could see. The horse was refuseing and backing, snorting and trying to turn. It even squatted down to near it's belly a couple of times, all with rider aboard and handling it with patience and encouragement, the most I ever got out of a TV show, it was great. I also went to a Clinton seminar a couple of years ago and he did a trailer loading semianar. The horse they brought in was a unmannered 2 year old Paint stud. This horse would turn and kick at him try to bite and rear, as well as charge him and strike at him. The horse was a total jerk he told the audience to be patient this was going to take a bit longer.
