He doesn't do very many, so you'd have to contact him and see. |

Location: Slipping down the slope of old age. Boo hoo. | I have learned something important from every clinic I've ever attended.... taught by lots of folks. I continue to take private horsemanship lessons as I can and will as long as I ride. Clinton Anderson is flat out great regarding handling and training horses (I have been to 4 of his clinics). I was able to train my mare - the one I have now - who is a very alpha mare and with lots of TB can be flighty/reactive. She has fabulous manners, is extremely well broke, and people always comment on her manners. Without Clinton, I'd of never tackled a horse like her at my advanced age. My first clinic ever was two-weeks with Martha Josey in the early 70s. Very influential and positive two weeks spent riding and learning with her and R.E. (he worked on my roping). Not just about barrel racing, but horsemanship, attitude, professionalism, horse care, etc. I think you can learn something from every clinician and that you should never stop taking riding lessons to improve your basic horsemanship. (as an aside, most of the issues I see riders having with their horses at today's barrel races boil down to their lack of basic horsemanship / riding skills)

Location: Tennessee | Clinton Anderson by a long shot! I've never been to one of his clinics but what I love about him is that even if you don't have his training series you can still learn ALOT just from watching his show on TV, its stuff YOU can actually teach your horse, unlike some people were they show you everything on a broke horse so you have no clue how to get there yourself. So I would look into getting his fundamentals series & then going to a clinic with him or even one of his certified clinicians.

Location: lone star state | Buck Branaman for horsemanship. As for barrels I think it depends on your riding level and style. Some teach basics while others teach advanced and you will get more oyt of someone who has a similar riding style.
As for clinton anderson google his name. There are way to many horror stories out there for me to follow him and he is arrogant and condesending.... |

| adding I went to a 2 day Kay Blanford and I learned a few things but I despised her. She was very egotistical to the students. Kept saying "see how I did that" "see how that was so easy" like we were dumb for not being able to figure it out. I also watched her try to get after a mare that was swinging her hind end on the first barrel and the mare fought back and so she backed down a little and said "see all you have to do is ________" when the mare was doing the exact same thing as when she first started. When I questioned her she said and I quote "whatever, just do what you want" in front of the rest of the class.... I was not impressed with her attitude. |

Clinton horror stories? Really? I've been to 4 clinics, and devoured his dvd's, including the barrel racing one with Sherry Cervi. I think of Clinton as super-confident, not arrogant....and if he is arrogant, he deserves to be, if just a bit. He's the absolute best teacher on the planet, and he is funny as all get out, but you have to put your pride aside when Clinton deals with you and your horse. I'm sorry you are missing out on the greatest clinician in the world just because you "heard horror stories"...watch for yourself. He's funny, an awesome communicator, and in the end, he gets the job done . 2 thumbs up for Clinton! last thing...googling anybody's name is a surefire way to learn a bunch of crap from the disgruntled few...not good research skills, my friend. |

Location: Texas | I really LOVED the Jackie Jatzlau clinic I went to!! She is so easy to talk to and we literally talked about everything, on top of a bunch of riding time. She is there more than just the 1,2, or 3 days for the clinic, she is there to build a relationship and help you. When you ask a question there's no "We'll go over that later" even if that's not what she had planned right then she will get on it and answer your question/problem and make sure everyone understands. She knows so much about rodeo and futurities. Her style is so simple too. If you are afraid of hardwork or think winning is easy she is not for you because she fully believes in putting 110% into everything and you won't see any other barrel racer working harder than her. |

I'm good friends with Paul so I can answer any questions about his program. He is very into horsemanship. I love his program. He has a lot of fun exercises and drills he does that really keep a horse soft and relaxed on the pattern. He is about teaching the horse to properly use their body around a barrel. He has a DVD out. If you do a YouTube search of him Ridejg has posted a few video clips of him working with people at a clinic. Awesome clinician. And very talented horseman.

Paul is a good friend of mine as well...and I second JKRM's thoughts....Paul is all about horsemanship first...barrels second. He has another dvd coming out this spring, it will be affordable, and focus on key points in a great turn.
Paul truly is a fan and lover of the horse, and it shows, and he wants his students to succeed, on happy horses. You will not go wrong in studying Paul's training methods.....and yes there are several You Tube clips of Paul's clinic in Aberdeen SD. |

What level of horse would you take to one of his clinics? If you took a well broke colt just starting to be patterned, would you get as much out of the clinic as you would if you took something already running? |

I have seen Paul work with older horses that were just not very well grounded in their basics, and get them on the right path...although there are no quick fixes, he points them in the right direction.
As far as young horses go, as long as they have good forward motion, and know how to pick up their leads fairly easily, you will get a lot of benefit from his clinic.
Horses that are already running can benefit from the exercises, that help maintain a good turn, as well for those that are losing time in the turn, Paul has a keen eye as to what any horse needs to be quicker and more efficient. |

I totally second agree! We've been putting on practice nights and jackpot barrel races at the place my husband trains out of and it literally makes me cringe some of the things I see...
As an aside, I'm having Molly Powell at our place in April for a clinic and am really excited after watching her horsemanship skills and training methods at Equifest last October.
