The Foundation of Clinton’s Performance Horse Program

A Special Horse from the Start

From the very first moment Clinton laid eyes on Prada, it was clear she was something special. A striking roan with undeniable presence, Prada, then a yearling, caught his attention immediately. But it wasn’t just her good looks that sealed the deal—it was who she proved to be once Clinton started training her.

From her early days in training through her standout 3-year-old year competing at the NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity, Prada consistently showed the kind of talent, heart and grit that sets truly exceptional horses apart from average ones.

Built for the Performance Pen

Prada is a rare combination of elite athletic ability and mental toughness. She’s intelligent, brave and incredibly honest in her work—qualities Clinton values above all else in a performance horse. While she’s not one to seek constant affection and doesn’t like to be fussed over, Prada is all business when it’s time to do her job.

She loves to work, thrives on having a purpose and brings a level of focus and determination to every ride that Clinton deeply respects. Horses like her don’t come along often.

A Partnership Clinton Respects

Over the years, Clinton has been fortunate to work with many outstanding horses, but Prada stands firmly among his all-time favorites. There’s a special partnership that develops when a horse gives you everything they have, every single day—and Prada does just that. Her grit, try and consistency have left a lasting impression, not only on Clinton as a horseman but on his vision for the future.

The Heart of the Program

As he continued to train Prada and competed with her in the world’s biggest competitive arenas, the more Clinton recognized and appreciated her rare qualities. She represents everything he believes a great performance horse should be: athletic, intelligent, all-heart and willing to do whatever is asked of her.

That’s why Prada has become the foundation of Clinton’s performance horse program. Clinton is intentionally and selectively pairing her with the very best western performance horse stallions, with one clear goal in mind—to carry her exceptional qualities forward and develop the next generation of world-class athletes.

A Legacy in the Making

Prada’s influence extends far beyond her own accomplishments. She is shaping the future of the program, inspiring the standard for what Clinton expects from his performance horses, and leaving a legacy that will be felt for years to come. Simply put, Prada isn’t just a great mare—she’s the cornerstone of what’s next.
