Clinton Anderson Performance Horses are shown throughout the country all year long.

Yes. Through the Performance Horse Program, Clinton is seeking out individuals passionate about horses and those wanting to experience ownership of an elite athlete competing at the top levels of the cow horse and cutting horse industries. Since he wants to develop a mutually beneficial partnership with you, it is important to Clinton that the two of you have the same goals and ambitions. If he feels that the partnership won’t work well, he will choose not to do business with you.

Clinton trains and competes on cow horses and cutting horses. You can learn more about working cow horse competitions through the National Reined Cow Horse Association website. To learn more about cutting horse competitions, visit the National Cutting Horse Association website.

Clinton is actively involved with all aspects of a performance horse’s training. As a 2-year-old, your horse will be started by Clinton’s Professional Clinicians. Clinton oversees all of the horse’s training, ensuring the correct techniques are being used and the horse is progressing well. Every two weeks, Clinton personally rides each 2-year-old and evaluates the horse. When the horse enters his 3-year-old year, Clinton takes over his training entirely from that point on.

Yes. You are encouraged to visit your horse at the ranch and take part in his training sessions. You will work directly with Clinton to set up the best time to schedule a visit.

No. There is no guarantee a horse will win money. In fact, there is no guarantee a horse will have the ability and desire to compete at the top levels of a given discipline. Each year, Clinton starts with an elite group of yearlings that have been bred to be outstanding performance horses. The reality is that not every horse lives up to his bloodlines to compete at the highest level of competition. In fact, by the time the horses reach their 3-year-old year, Clinton has whittled the original group down to between six to eight extremely talented prospects.

If a horse is cut from the program, Clinton will help you find a suitable option for the horse, whether that be you having an outstanding riding partner or choosing to sell the horse.

Cow horses and cutting horses do not get shown until August or September of their 3-year-old year. As a general rule, the horses are taken to three futurities in their 3-year-old year. In addition to the futurities, the horses may be hauled to local shows as a way to get them out and used to the show environment. If the horse is talented and making progress, he will continue to be shown in his 4- and 5-year-old years. The fun of training and competing performance horses is the journey of developing a world champion and winning money. Clinton has every hope of doing that with his talented prospects.

When your horse is taken to a show, you will be responsible for paying his entry fees, stall fee and any other fees associated with the show. You will also be responsible for mileage to the show and as well as the trainers’ expenses.

Yes. You will work with Clinton to decide the best options. Once Clinton has the horse trained and you and Clinton are confident about your riding ability, he will help you take the steps necessary to compete on your horse. That could mean working with Clinton directly or Clinton helping you find a local trainer near your home to work with.

No. Clinton personally selects all of his performance horse prospects. These horses are purchased at national sales or by working closely with a horse broker.

Clinton will be in close contact with you, keeping you informed of your horse’s training progress and answering your questions. Working with Clinton, you’ll take an active role in planning your horse’s show schedule.

The Downunder Horsemanship team will keep you abreast of your horse’s well-being and farrier, de-worming, vaccination and dental appointments. If any health care concerns or injuries arise, we will contact you immediately. Before any veterinarian care is given to your horse, we will get your permission to proceed. However, in emergency situations, if you cannot be reached and Clinton and the veterinarian feel that the horse needs immediate care, treatment will be given.
