| SAVE THIS FOR FUTURE TIPS ...
It is with great regret that we are no longer airing our TV show on RFD-TV.
The cost to produce free horse training information is enormous, and unfortunately,
we are unable to meet the demands of RFD-TV. So we respectfully had to decline
their terms and take our show off the air. We're so thankful for the hundreds of
thousands of viewers who have tuned in each week to watch the show.
We are going to continue to provide you with quality TV shows on our
website..... http://www.downunderhorsemanship.tv/ ... You can watch the shows
free of charge 24/7.
You have my word that I'm going to continue producing shows and sharing the
Method for free. RFD-TV loves to hear from people, so please feel free to share
your comments or concerns with them at info@rfdtv.com.

Yep I agree, RFD TV gave him the boost that he needed to get his name out there. And help sell all his training videos and training tools.. |

I agree, but he's been on rfd tv so long, who's to know how long he has been eating the cost of doing it. And although one should be grateful to anyone who helps boost a career, the person(s) who helped often turn around and take advantage of the celebrity. No one moans when athletes make it big and drop their small sponsors for the big ones. |

| Just from the info on here I don't see where anyone is in the wrong. RFD may or may not have asked for money, but even if they did, it's business. Clinton didn't want to pay more ( if that was the case) and I can't blame him either. It's just business. I didn't even know about RFD until someone told me they had horse training shows. That is the only reason I watch RFD - for the horse shows and rodeo. I don't follow Clinton, but I don't see any fault on either side. I think both parties benefitted from each other and now neither one needs the other to survive. JMO  |

| It's business. IF Clinton is not receiving enough return on his investment than cut your losses. |

Location: Bandera, TX | All the horse trainers that do have shows on RFD-TV have to pay to be on the air. I’m friends with one of these trainers and a few years ago the fee was 100k. The hopes are to get a good ROI through advertisers and obviously selling your own brand and products. In addition you have the production cost and time.
It certainly helps to promote your brand and business, but I’m also sure that after so many years you have reached maturity on what you can capture and the cost/time is no longer of benefit.

Location: Fort Worth / Springtown | Everytime I see his name I think of a man who told me barrel racers wouldn't have any problems stopping their horse in the alley if they all knew how to do a one rein stop. eta -- I reread and want to clarify it wasn't CA that told me this -- just someone who was friends with a CA certified trainer
I don't have a satellite tv so don't get RFD TV -- what I do have is a rental subscription to horse videos and I've rented a couple of his that were episodes from RFDTV, it seemed. I didn't see any training methods I hadn't seen before from someone else - and it was mostly his commercial played throughout.
* eta -- if OP's intention was just to inform where to find videos of his since he won't be on RFD, anymore - thanks -- knowing where to find free horse videos on the internet is helpful - especially for someone w/o cable or satellite :)

| Things are coming to a head at RFD TV since they lost the rights to broadcast the
WNFR in December of 2013 ... the lost programs and financial losses has hurt RFD TV ...
The owner of a TV network that covers Western and cowboy lifestyles is baffled by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association’s decision to pick CBS Sports Network over his network to broadcast the Las Vegas-based National Finals Rodeo.
Patrick Gottsch, founder and chairman of Omaha, Neb.-based RFD-TV, said he offered $1 million to the PRCA for the broadcast rights for the NFR, considered the Super Bowl of rodeos. Gottsch said RFD-TV planned to broadcast 200 hours of PRCA content such as the NFR and other PRCA “Champions Challenge” events to 65 million homes.
Instead, the PRCA announced this month that it will pay CBS Sports Network to broadcast 48 hours of the NFR and other Champions rodeo events in 2014 and 2015. The CBS Sports Network’s website said it’s available to 96 million homes, but Gottsch disagreed and said the CBS Sports
Network’s reach is 53 million homes.
Gottsch learned RFD-TV’s bid was rejected on Dec. 10 when PRCA Commissioner
Karl Stressman announced during the 10-day NFR in Las Vegas that CBS Sports
would broadcast the prized rodeo event, taking the reins from the Great American
Country network.

i.e. Clinton Anderson has been besieged by others that have copy catted his
training methods seeking to become famous as clone wannabes.
Clinton has done an excellent job of setting up his training programs for the least
to the most accomplished horsemen to benefit horse owners forever.
If you have never been to his ranch for his in depth training sessions, sent a horse thru
his program or purchased any of his high quality tack ...
you have missed seeing how well organized he is down to the most minute details.
His layout and the placement of his training aids and buildings on his ranch can only
be appreciated by those that have built a place from scratch and followed his methods
per the order of his video training methods.
As Clinton has stressed many times ... his TV program is for entertainment purposes
and to give you a desire to learn his training methods from start to finish!!
His personal integrity nor his successful straight forward training programs cannot
be questioned by those that lack his success, his horsemanship skills and ability to
teach others how to become a better horseman in a few hours due to his sharing
his methods that he has developed over the years to be done in a certain order to
end up with horses that you can be proud to own. Clinton has always made a point
of giving those that taught him their due acclaim and appreciation for their time
and knowledge!!

I'm happy WNFR didn't go with RFD-TV. CBS has a lot more to offer and quality. I didn't know Great American County was with RFD-TV.
I 'm happy to see Clinton leave as he will find a way to get his method out to the horse people. He is absolutely the best clinician and his method works amazingly when you follow the order. |

To add a little to your story......and who do you suppose worked for MANY years for Wrangler before taking the PRCA position ?????
Gottsch said Stressman informed him that Wrangler — a major PRCA sponsor — blocked the RFD-TV bid. Stressman could not be reached for comment. |

He sure seemed not to be able to get a horse in the show pen and get anything done. Winning one reining competition back in 1997 in Australia isn't very impressive to me.. |

Location: West Texas | I know what you are saying. In most ways that isn't all that relavent to his training for the majority of his clientele. He himself, is quite a hand, one of the best in the country. He needs a big slice of humble and respectful pie, but that really isn't the topic. He has been focusing on becoming a performance trainer and has made great strides in that area. He did just win last years NRCHA futurity rein work in the prelims. That is one heck of an accomplishment. You will see much more from him in the future, as a performance horse trainer. There is a lot about him I like. He is not a natural horsemanship guy and has a disdain (rightfully so) for the folks that perpetuate that idiotic philosophy to the public. I have learned a lot from him and his basic method is the best one a person trying to learn on their own could follow. I am not a fan of his signature method trainers and all of that. I have heard way too much negative about his personality as well. |

| I love the politically correct and must be a winner attitude of the posts by non-winners at 60++ years old ...
Every race horse owner, barrel racer, speed event and ropers know why each and everyone of us are in these speed events ... the CLOCK IS THE JUDGE AND JURY ... YOU CAN'T CHEAT IT BY OPINIONS of those HIDING IN A BACKROOM CLOSET ...
As you know .. judges at shows are also trainers and trainers are also competing and it is a closed club of kinfolks and clannish individuals. .. Little ol' me or little ol' you or big time Clinton Anderson is not going to walk in ...... compete with a dazzling performance and walk away as the champion or top dawg at the event .... AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!!
Any time you have the above happening and also a show committee, if you are a fly on the wall you will hear decisions on who has served his time supporting the group and has earned his turn to win the event..... well before the show begins.. We all have seen cutters quit hot cattle, get points for continuing to work a cow after the buzzer, Reiners with short sliding stops, out of position on their 360 turns, working cow horse that ends up on the inside of cow on fence work or sloppy final wraparound turns and they all end up with the highest score and win the event ....
If you are one of the clan you can look forward to winning next year .... lol
Rough stock judges and gimme the time is almost as bad .... I have never figured out the high scores for riding a rocking horse the full length of the arena.... vs.... the score for bucking high, in circles, direction changes and sunfishing horses ending up with very low scores .... same with some bull riders getting an 8 second ride while climbing the fence or laying in the dirt when the buzzer goes off .. lol
The only two events I can think of at AQHA and APHA that are not judged (yet) are barrels and poles .... the other events are judged .... roping is not a speed event at either association .... heeler, header, calf roper etc etc are judged on form not record breaking times ...
Carol Rose had such a following inside of AQHA due to her horse program earning AQHA a lot of money with the Incentive Fund she was the Queen of the arena ....
Carol Rose has bred AQHA horses and the resulting performance horses have earned:
More than 28,900 American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) points, averaging 69 AQHA points per foal and 94 AQHA points per point-earner, including 49 American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) World and Reserve World Championships, 13 American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) National All-Around titles, and earners of more than $3,400,000.
National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) earnings of over $1,000,000.
National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) earnings of over $580,000.
National Reined Cow Horse Association (NRCHA) earnings of over $700,000.
TOTAL: $5,680,000
Carol Rose is the leader in all American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) Incentive Fund categories as she leads in AQHA Incentive Fund foals bred, in AQHA Incentive Fund foals nominated and owned; total AQHA Incentive Fund money earned, and total in AQHA Incentive Fund nominated sires’ earnings.
Hat's off to her for the well managed horse and arena program she ran !!
I BET YOU GUYS NEVER REALIZED THERE WAS THIS MUCH MONEY TO BE WON AT AQHA EVENTS...
Ease up on old Clinton .. If you have ever tried to talk constantly and coherently all day long while chasing and correcting or riding a horse without losing your wind ... you know how much talent it takes and how hard that is to do !!
My Grandad always had good advice:
A little sarcasm, dry humor and wit are OK to draw attention
but you had better be able to throw a larger shadow if you are going to talk about someone ....... ... lol ...
