For a horse to graduate from the Clinton Anderson Signature Horse Program they have proven to us that they are a safe and reliable horse.
I am not a very experienced rider; will a Signature Horse suit me?
Clinton is a firm believer that horses teach people and people teach horses - in that order. That's why it's so important to start your horsemanship journey on a well-trained horse that you can learn from as you build your confidence. With in-depth knowledge of the Method, including more than 60 exercises, a Clinton Anderson Signature Horse is the perfect beginner horse that can help teach you Clinton Anderson's Method.

Can I see pictures of the horses that are currently being trained in the Signature Horse Program?
No. Horses may be dropped out of Signature Horse training if they display any tendencies that do not meet our strict Signature Horse requirements. We will only show you a photo of a Signature Horse when we are certain that it has what it takes to be a Signature Horse.
Can I choose the color and sex of my Signature Horse?
Yes. If you are patient we can find the horse that's the right color and sex for you. The problem with doing this is that you may have to wait a lot longer for that horse to become available. Remember, Clinton hand selects every horse that enters the Signature Horse program. If at any time the horse does not live up to the expectations of a Signature Horse it will be dropped from the program and we will start the process again. If you specifically want a palomino gelding then that's what you should ask for, but be prepared to wait for one to become available.
All the horses that graduate from the Signature Horse Program, regardless of whether they are a mare or gelding, will act the same; they are all good minded.
Are geldings better than mares?
It has long been thought that geldings make better trail riding horses than mares, but nothing could be further from the truth. How well a horse rides and performs on the trail really depends on the individual horse. Sure, some geldings are better than some mares, and some mares are better than some geldings. Clinton carefully selects his Signature Horses, puts them through his entire Method and weeds out horses that aren't suitable, including horses with less than desirable dispositions or unwilling attitudes. Regardless of whether a Signature Horse is a mare or gelding, they all have the same pleasing disposition, willing attitudes and in-depth training. A gelding is not better than a mare, and a mare is not better than a gelding. In fact, by the time Clinton gives the Signature Horse his stamp of approval, you won't be able to tell what sex the horse is; you'll just have an unbelievably well-trained horse. If you are insistent about getting a gelding, please understand that it will take considerably longer for one to become available because more people prefer geldings over mares. Clinton personally prefers mares, and feels that a lot of great Signature Horse mares are getting looked over because people are being short-sighted.
What is the typical size of a Signature Horse?
The typical size of a Signature Horse is between 14.2 hands and 15.2 hands. All Signature Horses are Quarter Horses. As a breed, Quarter Horses aren't known for being tall or massively built horses like a Thoroughbred or Warmblood. Clinton only selects horses with strong bones and great conformation. Most people think that a bigger horse is better, but in reality that's not true. In fact, Clinton personally prefers smaller horses because it's easier to get on and off of them and work around them in general. In fact, his motto is: It takes a great big horse to beat a good little one. A testament to that motto is Clinton's mare, Mindy. At 14.1 hands, Mindy has been carrying Clinton (5'11") around for over 17 years without a problem, and Clinton doesn't look out of proportion on her.
What is the average age of a Signature Horse?
On average the Signature Horses are between 4 and 8 years old.
Can I send my horse to you to get trained to be a Signature Horse?
No. Not every horse is suited to being a Signature Horse, and due to their intensive training we do not have the manpower to train any more horses than we already do. Every Signature Horse will clock up a lot of miles with a Professional Clinician. The only way you can get a Signature Horse is to buy one directly from Clinton Anderson through the Signature Horse Program.
I'm at the top of the waiting list, what if I don't like the photo of the Signature Horse that you have sent me?
No worries. You'll stay at the top of the list and when the next Signature Horse is ready to find a new home, we'll send you a photo of it.
What happens when I go to try the horse at your ranch?
You will spend the entire day with one of Clinton's Professional Clinicians getting to know the Signature Horse. You will receive a lesson from the Professional Clinician, go on a trail ride and have the opportunity to take the horse off the ranch. After this private training session, Clinton and the Professional Clinician will assess your compatibility with the horse. If you are a match and you like the horse, you may purchase the horse.
I have heard that you won't sell a horse just because someone wants to buy it. Is that true?
Yes. After you visit the ranch to try the horse, if Clinton or one of his Professional Clinicians does not feel like you and the horse are a perfect match he will not sell it to you. You will be placed back at the top of the waiting list and notified when a more suitable horse becomes available.
What if I go to the ranch and I don't like the Signature Horse?
You have no obligation to buy the horse. We hope that you will have enjoyed your day at the ranch and that you have benefitted from the free lesson with the Professional Clinician. This is a no pressure situation; we only want you to buy a horse if it's a perfect match for you.
What happens if I don't like the horse after I get him home?
Signature Horses come with Clinton's personal guarantee. If you do not like the horse and it is still in the same physical condition that you bought it in, you can return it within 30 days.

Annette Rold
Annette Rold has found the perfect partner in Signature Horse, Laredo. The mother of two horse-crazy girls, Annette was on an all out search for a horse that would allow her to take part in her daughters' favorite activity and help her learn and stay safe at the same time. When she discovered the Method, Annette knew having a horse trained by Clinton was the answer she'd been looking for. Annette now enjoys riding Laredo on trails with her daughters and has plans to take up fox hunting.
Why were you looking for a horse?
My girls both had horses and I wanted to share in the fun. I had actually bought several that didn't work out. I was starting to think that maybe I was in the wrong sport. If I hadn't bought Laredo, I'm not sure I'd be riding.
Had you been horse shopping before you looked at the Signature Horses? If so, how did your experience compare to buying a horse from Downunder Horsemanship?
Yes, horse shopping is time consuming and stressful! We'd drive for hours to know in a few minutes that it wasn't a match. I didn't want to make another mistake. When looking at Laredo, I had a level of certainty that it would work before I even got on the plane.
What was the best part about buying a horse from Clinton?
I bought a horse with a user's manual. When I need help or want to try something new, I have the DVDs as a reference.
Did anything surprise you about your Signature Horse?
What surprises me and everyone else is that he's only 6. He has the beingness of a wise old man. He never overreacts. When he does have a moment of worry, he's just figuring things out. He's really good with just enough surprises to make him fun.
Describe Laredo's work ethic.
He's always ready to work. He walks right up to the halter and lead rope and practically puts it on himself. He jumps right in the trailer, ready to go. He wants to do his job and is willing to try new things.
I travel for work, so there are many times we go a week to ten days without riding. A bit of groundwork and a few minutes in the tack and it's like I never left. As a busy working mom, this is so important to me.
How well do you feel Laredo knows Clinton's Method?
He knows it better than I do. He surprises me when I try something new from a DVD. Once he knows what I'm asking for, he's right there with me.
What's the best thing about your Signature Horse?
He makes riding fun and relaxing. I feel like I can take him anywhere and he'll be fine.
Describe in one word how your Signature Horse makes you feel.
Happy - I'm very happy that I have the opportunity to learn with him.
"I love having a horse that I can learn from and I trust."
Susanne Glancy
Susanne Glancy's herd of nearly 20 horses is a mix of all breeds and ages including several rescue cases that she and her family are working with to give a new beginning. A firm believer in the Method, Susanne knew getting a quiet, dependable horse trained by Clinton would help to sharpen her horsemanship skills and make her better able to teach the Method to her other horses. Signature Horses Gin, Maui and London have done just that.
Describe your experience coming to the Downunder Horsemanship Ranch to select your Signature Horses.
We spent a couple of days at the ranch working with the horses on the ground and then riding them. Clinton and his Professional Clinicians were just wonderful and very helpful.
"It was a great experience and a lot of fun."
Why were you looking for a horse?
We had rescued five horses that needed a lot of work. I thought that if I had a Signature Horse I could become more knowledgeable and be better able to work with the other horses. I've heard Clinton say,
"Horses teach people and then people teach horses,"
and it's definitely been true for me.
Were you looking for specific qualities in your horse?
I wanted a safe, reliable and knowledgeable horse, and that's exactly what I got. My confidence in the saddle has really increased thanks to our Signature Horses.
Were Clinton and his staff helpful after you got your new horses home?
Yes - when we got the horses home in late fall, it was unfortunately freezing cold being in Montana. We couldn't do much with them at first, but then Clinton sent his Professional Clinicians to spend several days with us working on groundwork and riding exercises. Working with the horses at our home was very helpful and a wonderful experience.
What was the best part about buying a horse from Clinton?
Everything. It was a wonderful experience.
What makes your Signature Horses special?
The amount of training they had, and the fact that they're calm and they have lovely personalities. I just love them. They are friendly with everybody. When we rescued our other horses, they were quite fearful of people. These horses have none of that. They're just very well-rounded.
Why do you believe in Clinton and his Method?
When we first got involved with horses, we looked at all the different trainers available. When we found Clinton, we just connected with his Method. He's easy to understand and breaks every lesson up into simple to understand steps. We've had a lot of success with his guidance.
Would you recommend others look into purchasing a Signature Horse?
Absolutely. I've had previous experiences buying other horses from people who said they were bombproof and you could do anything with, that didn't turn out to be true at all. But with Clinton's horses, they genuinely are.
Kathy Worley
When Kathy Worley began to use Clinton's Method on her performance horses, she was instantly hooked by the results - her horses were literally transformed before her eyes. Always interested in improving her horsemanship, Kathy knew buying a Signature Horse would give her a deeper understanding of the Method and make her a better horsewoman. Today, Kathy and her Signature Horses, Jill and Rio, continue a perfect partnership that began at the Downunder Horsemanship Ranch.
Why did you decide to purchase a Signature Horse?
A Signature Horse is perfect for somebody like me who doesn't have all the time in the world to ride. I didn't have the time to teach one of my own horses the entire program, but once I bought a horse that knows the program, I was able to learn it myself.
How has owning a Signature Horse helped your horsemanship?
"My Signature Horses have helped build my confidence a ton and totally, totally improved my horsemanship."
Buying Jill and then Rio made it ten thousand times easier to learn the program and now my other horses are catching on faster because I know what I'm doing!
Would you recommend others purchase Signature Horses?
Hands down, it was by far the way to go. It's the perfect thing for a person who loves structure. I may sound like an infomercial, but finding Clinton took my horsemanship to a whole new level!
Kathy Goodlin
A lifelong equestrian, Kathy Goodlin shares her passion for horses with her entire family. Since the day that the Goodlin's discovered Clinton and his Method, they've been impressed with the results they've seen in themselves and their horses. When the family was looking for a new horse that they could compete on as well as take on the trails, it seemed a natural choice to turn to Clinton. Signature Horse, Miss, has turned out to be a perfect fit for the family that values safety and education.
Why did you decide to buy a Signature Horse?
What I like about Clinton is that he says every horse should be kid-proof and safe. I like that. I wanted a horse that was safe for my kids and when I'm out in the middle of nowhere, that I know I can trust her training. We don't have to do things perfectly for her to respond. Both Miss and my kids know Clinton's techniques so well that if something spooks her, my kids can do a One Rein Stop and she stops.
Describe your experience purchasing a horse from Clinton.
One thing we appreciated about purchasing this horse from Clinton was that he gave us a month to try her out and make sure she was a good fit for us.
"It wasn't just a sale - they really cared about our family."
Describe your Signature Horse's personality.
I can take my seven-year-old on a trail ride with her and not have to worry. Miss is the safest horse we own. She takes care of whoever's riding her. Miss is a thinker, she's not reactive on the ground or in the saddle.
How has your Signature Horse improved your family's horsemanship?
Miss is a teacher. My kids have learned from her and are now trying to teach what Miss knows to the other horses. She was meant to be with our family. This is a horse that you can have fun competing on, but you aren't limited to just a show ring. The biggest problem we have with Miss is that there's just one of her!
Janet Presnell
As a young girl, Janet dreamed of someday owning a horse of her own, and although she had to wait until she was an adult to turn her dream into a reality, she never lost her passion for all things horses. When she got Blaze as a yearling, she immediately turned to Clinton and his Method to help train the young horse and earn his respect. While she aptly progressed Blaze through the fundamentals level of the Method, Janet was running out of knowledge on her end to take the young horse to the next level. That's when she decided to invest in a Signature Horse that knew Clinton's entire program from start to finish. With Signature Horse Moonshine, Janet has found her own personal teacher and continues to add to her feel, timing and experience and increase her expectations.
Why were you looking for a horse?
My husband expressed interest in learning to ride. I already had a good horse, but I wanted another good horse. I just didn't want to have to spend all the time training it from scratch. Although I had enjoyed training my young horse, I wanted something that was ready to go.
Were you looking for specific qualities in your horse?
Although I had trained Blaze from a yearling, I hit a bit of a roadblock in his training. He had progressed through the fundamental riding well, but my own knowledge was a bit limited in the more advanced maneuvers. I knew that a Signature Horse would be well-educated and would know Clinton's entire Method. My philosophy was if I could get a horse that already knew it all, he would be able to teach me.
Had you been horse shopping before you looked at the Signature Horse? If so, how did your experience compare to buying a horse from Downunder Horsemanship?
We did look at other horses in the area while we were on the waiting list for a Signature Horse. They were cheaper than a Signature Horse, so we decided to look to see what the difference would be. Some of them were fine under saddle, but were pushy on the ground. And people's definition of broke was very different than mine. Little things that I had come to expect since following Clinton's Method were missing. I came to the realization that I definitely wanted a Signature Horse. I knew that when I got to Downunder Horsemanship to see the horse, he would know the entire program and I'd be completely happy with him verses getting something cheaper that didn't have the knowledge.
What was the best part about buying a horse from Clinton?
When I was working with Moonshine, I wanted to take my time. If I decided to buy him, I wanted it to be a good conscious decision. I didn't want it to be an emotional decision. Those horses cost a lot of money and if it wasn't right, I wanted to move on, and that's the way Clinton made me feel. There was no pressure; I could take my time and ask as many questions as I liked.
Why do you believe in Clinton and his Method?
He just makes sense. The way he presents his information is chronological and laid out step-by-step. You see the results almost instantly. Thanks to Clinton and his Method, I love training my horses and continuing to add to my knowledge.
Did anything surprise you about your Signature Horse?
The amount of knowledge he has continues to impress me. He knows the entire Method, it's just a matter of me learning how to get it out of him. The experience he has had with Clinton has made him such a safe horse. When people come to the barn and see him, they all make comments about how calm and easygoing he is. People who don't even know where he's come from can tell that there's a difference.
How well do you feel your Signature Horses know Clinton's Method?
He knows the Method inside and out. Every day that I work with him, I learn something new. He has taught me so much. Clinton always says that
"Horses teach people and then people teach horses,"
and I knew there was plenty I needed to learn. I love having a horse that knows it all!
What's the best thing about your Signature Horse?
He's making me a better rider. Thanks to his knowledge, I'm learning more advanced riding techniques and getting to accomplish things I've never done before in my life. I've always believed that knowledge is power. With Moonshine's knowledge and with me continually adding to my own, I now have the power to accomplish anything!
Describe in one word how your Signature Horse makes you feel.
Happy. The bottom line is you choose what you spend your money on. I don't have three cars, a boat, etc., I just have my pets and my one car. I would rather spend my money on a good horse because that's where my passion lies. I spend more time on my horses than anything else. Moonshine has exceeded my expectations and made me a better horsewoman and because of that, I'm able to progress Blaze in his training.
Would you recommend others get a Signature Horse?
Absolutely. I'm completely and totally satisfied. I'm having a lot of fun with him and he's so much more than I expected. Every time I work with him, I'm reminded of how glad I am that I made the decision to get a Signature Horse.
Bonnie Troxel and Tammy Latoz
Mother and daughter team, Bonnie and Tammy, keep each other inspired to be better horsewomen and are firm believers in Clinton's Method. After attending numerous clinics, volunteering at a tour and relentlessly studying the Method, they decided that Signature Horses were the next logical step in their pursuit of ultimate horsemanship. They've even convinced their husbands to take part in the experience thanks to Signature Horses Trashy, Jasper and Sadie. Now, the entire family enjoys every moment in the saddle and continues on their quest to becoming better horsemen.
Why were you looking for a horse?
We love horses and the more serious we got about our horsemanship, the more we wanted that special horse that we could grow with in training. We were already sold on Clinton's Method and knew that a Signature Horse is what we needed to go to the next level of horsemanship.
Were you looking for specific qualities in your horse?
We wanted horses we could feel safe on and would give us the confidence we needed to learn. We wanted our horses to be calm and somewhat laid back, but not so calm that they wouldn't be willing to learn new things. Our Signature Horses are all of the above.
Had you been horse shopping before you looked at the Signature Horses? If so, how did your experience compare to buying a horse from Downunder Horsemanship?
We did go and check out some horses for sale locally, as well as on different web sites, but we were not impressed. We had also gone to a few auctions to see what was available, and we're so happy we didn't make that choice! The experience of buying a horse from Clinton was so exciting. He made every attempt to please us finding the perfect horse.
What was the best part about buying a horse from Clinton?
Clinton made it a fun, pleasurable experience. He answered all of our questions regarding the horse and returned our calls right away no matter how many times we called or how silly the question may have sounded. Clinton made sure we knew everything about the horse and he knew about us. If he didn't feel it was a good match, we knew Clinton would not let us buy the horse. We had a lot of faith in his judgment, and there was no pressure to buy the horse.
Why do you believe in Clinton and his Method?
His method is the easiest to understand and follow. If you follow it completely, you do see results. He works as much or more with people problems as he does with horses, and you soon see where you are missing it. Some of the points he stresses and the way he presents them will stick in your mind, and you think
"Now I know what he was trying to get through to me!"
In our mind he is the best! We could go on and on about what sets Clinton apart from the others, but we know everyone that follows his Method already knows.
Did anything surprise you about your Signature Horses?
They are not only safe and dependable, but athletic and good looking. Though they don't forget what they've been taught, you do have to work with them and remind them to be soft and respectful - they are still horses. We finally have the horses we can truly learn from and move on to the next level with. They were trained by the best and we completely trust them.
How well do you feel your Signature Horses know Clinton's Method?
They all know the Method very well. We had a bad winter with a lot of rain, and weren't able to do much with them, but as soon as we started back working with them, we could tell they didn't forget anything. They teach us all the time.
What's the best thing about your Signature Horses?
The amount of respect they have for us and the confidence they've given us. At first we had concerns about Jasper being a two year old, but now that is one of the things we like best about him. We can grow in training together.
Describe in one word how your Signature Horse makes you feel.
Happy, relaxed... we could go on. We can have the most stressful day and get out with our horses and completely forget the world around us; they just have that affect on you. We can't even think about a day without them.
Would you recommend others get a Signature Horse? Why?
Yes, if you want to have a great horse experience and exceed your expectations, then we would highly recommend a Signature Horse from Clinton Anderson. We have the confidence of knowing that Clinton will always be there if we need him, and his clinicians were so very willing to help and knew everything about the horses.
Meg Clancy
Several years ago, Meg attended a Clinton Anderson horsemanship clinic with her eight year old, Paint mare. The experience left her a firm believer in Clinton and his Method, so much so, that when it came time to find the perfect mount for her grandkids, she knew just where to turn. Thanks to Clinton's ability to match ability and personality, Meg now has Signature Horse Peyton to keep her grandkids, ages eleven and seven on the road to becoming true horsemen.
Why were you looking for a horse?
I had ridden horses as a kid, but got out of them as an adult when I got married, had children and established a career. After I retired, my granddaughter wanted a horse, so we got back into it. We bought a couple of them several years ago, but we were looking for something she could progress on. She's eleven now and wants to barrel race. I also have a seven year old grandson that wants to do gymkhanas and rope.
Were you looking for specific qualities in your horse?
I wanted a horse the grandkids could ride and be able to progress with. I want them to become horsemen like Clinton with good professional horsemanship.
Had you been horse shopping before you looked at Signature Horses? If so, how did your experience compare to buying a horse from Downunder Horsemanship?
I had kind of asked around, but I didn't feel that I had enough knowledge to pick a good horse. I know not every horse is perfect, but I wanted to make sure I had a good dependable horse for my grandkids. I used Clinton's knowledge, brains and experience to help us get a horse that would be good quality so that the kids wouldn't get hurt.
What was the best part about buying a horse from Clinton?
He was able to find a safe, knowledgeable horse for my grandkids to ride. Peyton has a lot of potential and will continue to help us increase our own knowledge.
Why do you believe in Clinton and his Method?
I had participated with my mare in a clinic with Clinton and it totally turned her around. His Method is fabulous. He breaks each lesson down so that you can understand it and puts it into perspective. There's no guesswork - you know exactly what to do each step of the way.
Did anything surprise you about your Signature Horse?
Peyton has great bloodlines and he's just a beautiful, beautiful horse. He's only three, but I think he's got the potential to be a fabulous horse.
How well do you feel your Signature Horse knows Clinton's Method?
He knows Clinton's entire Method well. When we went to the ranch to meet him, Clinton's apprentice, Magen, showed us everything that he could do. It was impressive. My granddaughter rode him all around the ranch and we just had a fabulous time.
What's the best thing about your Signature Horse?
He has the potential to help my grandkids progress their horsemanship. My granddaughter could ride forever and I think she and Peyton are going to go far with each other.
Describe in one word how your Signature Horse makes you feel.
Glad - that we've found a knowledgeable horse to add to our herd.
Would you recommend others get a Signature Horse? Why?
Oh, yes! I wish we lived closer so that I could continue to take lessons with him. We just love Clinton, Peyton and the Method.
Deborah Obrien
Deborah started riding twenty-five years ago, but after a bad experience, abruptly stopped. It wasn't until after retiring from the education field and acquiring twenty-four acres that she decided to give her passion for horses another go. After adopting two Arabians, she turned to Clinton and his Downunder Horsemanship Method, and found she could get the results she was looking for following his step-by-step Method. When she saw that Clinton sold Signature Horses trained personally by him and his apprentices, she knew that having a horse that understood the ins and outs of the Method would build her confidence and ability to communicate with her horses. Now with her own Signature Horse, Hank, Deborah is well on her way to realizing her horsemanship goals.
Why were you looking for a horse?
After I retired from teaching two years ago, I decided that I wanted to get back into horses. I started watching Clinton on TV and saw an ad for his Signature Horses, and I knew that I wanted one. My husband told me I was crazy, but after watching Clinton at the Clemson, South Carolina Tour, he told me that if I wanted a Signature Horse, I could get one. That's how impressed he was with the way Clinton could work with a horse and transform it.
Were you looking for specific qualities in your horse?
I wanted a horse that I could get on and just ride without having to worry about my safety.
Had you been horse shopping before you looked at the Signature Horse? If so, how did your experience compare to buying a horse from Downunder Horsemanship?
I had adopted two Arabians, but they had a little bit more "go" than "whoa." I wasn't very confident, and being an inexperienced horse person, it wasn't a great fit. I completely trusted Clinton and his apprentice to find me the perfect horse.
What was the best part about buying a horse from Clinton?
I trusted him completely to find a horse that would suit me. I knew he would find a horse for me that would build my confidence rather than destroying it.
Why do you believe in Clinton and his Method?
Clinton's Method just works and it's easy to understand. I've seen what he can do with a horse, and I know the difference it's made in my Arabians.
Did anything surprise you about your Signature Horse?
Not really, he's a typical horse - he's going to test you from time to time. Clinton told me that I'd have to be consistent with him. When he does test me, all I've got to do is show him that yes, I mean what I say, and he does it.
How well do you feel your Signature Horse knows Clinton's Method?
He knows Clinton's Method well. I'm really impressed with how well he pays attention and reads my body language. When I take him out to work with him, he really focuses on his job.
What's the best thing about your Signature Horse?
The best thing about him is that he's very knowledgeable, and I'm able to learn from him. He gives me confidence, and I'm hoping that my great niece will be able to learn to ride on him as well.
How did the money-back guarantee factor into your decision to purchase your Signature Horse?
I'd be lying if I said it didn't. Signature Horses cost a lot of money, and I know I'll never be able to buy a horse like Hank again. I felt better knowing that he came with a money-back guarantee because if I had gotten him and he turned out to be crazy or we just didn't get along, it would be nice to say, "Hey, this isn't what I planned on," and return him. But I never anticipated that was going to happen with Clinton.
Would you recommend others get a Signature Horse? Why?
Most definitely; while we're still a work in progress, I can't even begin to describe how much Hank has helped me become a better horseman. I feel completely safe on him, and my confidence has really increased.
Cheryl Harlin
Newly retired from the Air Force, Cheryl moved herself, two daughters and two horses down to Texas last year from New Jersey. While she had her Thoroughbred, and her youngest daughter, Rebecca, had her pony, her oldest daughter, Rachel, was without a horse. A family of passionate horse lovers, Cheryl knew that needed fixed. Familiar with Clinton and the results she'd seen with his Method, Cheryl decided to put her name on the list to purchase a Signature Horse. When they got to the Downunder Horsemanship Ranch, Cheryl and her daughters were immediately impressed with Signature Horse, Cody, and today, Rachel and Cody turn heads everywhere they go and receive top scores at local shows. In fact, in his first time out, Cody took home high point honors at a dressage schooling show and received a 70 percent in his first dressage test.
Why were you looking for a horse?
We recently moved from New Jersey to Texas and while we bought two horses that we were leasing, my oldest daughter was horseless. All three of us love to ride, so we were looking for a horse for her.
Were you looking for specific qualities in your horse?
We knew that getting a horse from Clinton would mean that the horse would know his entire program, especially the groundwork. Unfortunately, most people don't really take into consideration the importance of groundwork. Now, when we take Cody to shows, or when Rachel is working with him at the equestrian center, people come up and ask her how she learned to make her horse do the things that he's doing. They just sit there and go, "Wow!" Cody is like an advertisement for Clinton and the Downunder Horsemanship Method.
Had you been horse shopping before you looked at the Signature Horse? If so, how did your experience compare to buying a horse from Downunder Horsemanship?
We were set on getting a horse from Clinton, so while we did go look at some horses, it wasn't anything serious. The ground training that Clinton does with his horses pays for itself. You know that other people aren't going to be as intense with the ground training like Clinton is. In fact, we're currently looking for another dressage horse and have found that the ground training with those horses pales in comparison to Clinton's.
What was the best part about buying a horse from Clinton?
While we practice the Method with our other horses, they aren't as quick to catch on to the exercises like Cody is. He's been to boot camp! Once we got Cody home, Clinton followed up with us on how everything was going and checked to make sure we were all getting along.
Why do you believe in Clinton and his Method?
We started using Clinton's Method a few years ago and it has been so helpful to us. It truly is "idiot-proof." He lays it all out in his DVDs and writing. It's amazing what you can accomplish with your horse in just a short amount of time.
Did anything surprise you about your Signature Horse?
Nothing really surprised us once we got him home because we saw everything he could do at the ranch, but I think he's knocked the socks off people who see him. People "oh and ah" all over him, and our farrier just loves him. He's got incredible manners and is so great at the groundwork.
How well do you feel your Signature Horse knows Clinton's Method?
He knows it well. If Rachel doesn't practice a particular exercise for awhile, he'll remember it as soon as she comes back to it.
What's the best thing about your Signature Horses?
His knowledge of Clinton's groundwork is the best, and just the way he handles himself. When we take him to a show, he has no issues with other horses, he doesn't spook at the announcer, at the gate or even being in a new facility. He is so bombproof that we can take him anywhere.
How did the money-back guarantee factor into your decision to purchase your Signature Horse?
Clinton's guarantee to return our money if the horse didn't work out really did factor into my decision to purchase Cody. It was important to me, and I don't know why more owners don't build that same guarantee in their agreements. It's extremely beneficial.
Would you recommend others get a Signature Horse? Why?
Definitely; I wish all of my horses were as good as Cody. Not only is he well-behaved, but he's got good conformation and a great personality.
Brian Wheaton
Brian first discovered Clinton nine years ago when he decided to join his wife in her passion for horses. After learning to ride and studying the Method for several years, Brian bought a two-year-old colt he was able to train himself following Clinton's step-by-step instruction. Over the years, as the Wheaton family has accumulated horses, Brian has been busy perfecting his application of the Method, and realized several years ago that if he wanted to get really good, he needed to work with a horse that already knew the program in its entirety. That's how Signature Horse, Tally, entered the picture. "She's an unbelievable horse and has helped me improve so much as a horseman," Brian says. "I can't thank Clinton enough for all the work he's put into this incredible mare."
Why were you looking for a horse?
My motivation for getting a Signature Horse was to see how well I knew Clinton's Method and also to help me apply it to my other horses better.
Were you looking for specific qualities in your horse?
Not only did I expect to get an exceptionally trained horse from Clinton, but I wanted a mare with good bloodlines that I could add to my herd and eventually breed. Tally is both of those things – she knows the Method inside and out, and is by Custom Chrome, an NRHA 2.4 Million Dollar Sire.
Had you been horse shopping before you looked at the Signature Horse? If so, how did your experience compare to buying a horse from Downunder Horsemanship?
No, actually, I was visiting in San Antonio, and found myself in the Dallas area and realized I was only a short ways away from Clinton's office and ranch, so decided to stop by. I had already had the idea that getting a well-trained horse to work with would help me better myself, so I asked the office staff if Clinton had any horses for sale. The gentleman I spoke to told me that Clinton had just started the Signature Horse program, and after going home and thinking it over, I decided to add my name to the waiting list.
What was the best part about buying a horse from Clinton?
I know that if I have a question, I have somebody there who will support me. I bought a mare that's as solid as a rock. I don't have to worry about her. If I ever run into a problem, I know it's something I'm doing wrong and need to figure out what it is. Once I correct myself, it helps me train my other horses. I know Tally has a solid foundation, and now I'm giving myself one as well.
Why do you believe in Clinton and his Method?
It's worked for me, and I think the results speak for themselves.
Did anything surprise you about your Signature Horse?
No – she's everything Clinton promised and more.
How well do you feel your Signature Horse knows Clinton's Method?
She knows it so well that she's been helping me refine my application of it. And out on the trail, she's as solid as a rock. When other horses refuse to cross a creek or any other obstacle, Tally just walks right through it with no problem.
What's the best thing about your Signature Horse?
I never have to worry about her. My son and I like to go on long trail rides up in the mountains with a group of thirty other guys twice a month, and Tally is just solid. I know she knows Clinton's Method inside and out, and she's just level headed. She thinks her way through any situation rather than overreacting.
How did the money-back guarantee factor into your decision to purchase your Signature Horse?
It didn't. I was more than pleased with the whole process right from the start, and I knew Tally's bloodlines were phenomenal.
Would you recommend others get a Signature Horse? Why?
Yes. The whole experience was almost like walking in Disney - with the professionalism of Clinton and his staff to being at the office and the ranch itself. Plus, I know I have support and help from Downunder Horsemanship whenever I need it. I can text Clinton's apprentice, Magen, a question and she'll answer me back almost immediately.

The men who stare at Jon Ronson
A fake Twitter account satirises a world in thrall to robots.
By Michael Brooks Published 22 March 2012 18:18I'm writing because I have just watched this Jon Ronson video. In it, Ronson tracks down a trio of academics who have created a piece of computer code that samples and mimics some of his stylings, and then tweets nonsense as Jon_Ronson.
Ronson is incensed by this - rightly or wrongly - but his exploration of their motives ends with them revealing themselves as making a postmodern, or perhaps post-ironic (who the hell knows or cares?) statement about the world being in thrall to the decisions of robots.
The video is interesting. I like these people (I don't think Ronson does). I like the way they sit in a row on the sofa and absorb his exasperation. And what's more, they have a point.
In May 2008, I met a very senior mathematician who told me we might be about to encounter a massive financial meltdown. The problem, he said, was that "about 80 per cent of all moves made in financial transactions are the results of decisions taken by black boxes - the dealers just do not know what they are doing any more."
I wrote the story for New Scientist, and - for very boring reasons to do with timing and news pegs - it got spiked. Six months later, we were in the global financial crisis. At least I can say it's not my fault.
The black box models used in financial trading are not some value-free piece of mathematical truth. According to Professor Yuri Manin, now retired, but director of the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn, they stretch the logical truths of mathematics to breaking point.
The accuracy of the computers' analyses of the markets was being taken on trust, he said - especially when dealing with "virtual" commodities such as hedge funds and derivatives.
In scientific disciplines, such as theoretical physics, the performance of such models would be judged on whether they reflect the real-world behaviour of the process being modelled. But the closed nature of the models used for virtual transactions, where nothing is actually bought or sold, means their accuracy is uncheckable: there is no "real world" aspect to the process.
In such systems, the values of commodities can flip wildly, Manin said, growing exponentially or collapsing at the stroke of a key. Because the traders have no idea what the parameters of their models are, they are powerless to stop this happening.
It's the point that Dan O'Hara, a lecturer in literature at Cologne University (and part-time Ronson-baiter), makes in the video. "I want to understand those algorithms, and furthermore I want to help other people understand those algorithms," he says. "I want to make people aware of these... bits of code that are having really important effects on our lives."
Sadly, if no one listened to a professor of mathematics, who will listen to a lecturer in literature? Really, though, it doesn't matter: as long as it remains acceptable for traders to gamble away other people's pensions in games whose rules they don't even understand, someone's got to keep shouting. Sorry, Jon. But you'll probably get over it.

Kevin Slavin made a similar series of points about black box finances and High Frequency trading in a TED talk from July 2011:
and also on YouTube if that's easier for people to watch:
Ronson is a disgusting shill, wouldn't be surprised he doesn't secretly sponsor the spambot unleashed by those three 'academics'.
Just who does he shill for, and could I see your evidence, please?
How can you possibly like them? They are behaving like puerile teenagers and trying to dress up their actions as some kind of clever academic bullshit. They're just annoying.

Good day! The market has been in recovery mode since the second half of last week, but we were seeing things start to cool off heading into Tuesday morning. After a sharp rally into Monday morning that left the market extended and at daily resistance, the U.S. indices slowly began to retrace off highs. The index futures found support shortly after midnight and turned higher into the early morning hours.
The market has been highly tuned into global events over the past several weeks and one of the centers of attention has been Japan. Japan's Nikkei rose sharply in Tuesday's session on signs that workers were making progress on getting the disaster at the Fukushima nuclear power plant under control and Japanese automakers announced that they would soon be resuming production as well. The Japanese markets had been closed on Monday for a national holiday.
Dow Jones Industrial Average (Figure 1)
Although the U.S. index futures were higher in premarket trade, the rally slowed shortly after 5:00 a.m. ET. The stronger S&P 500 hit slightly higher highs as compared to Monday morning, which created a 2T reversal pattern. As I discussed in yesterday's column, since the pace of the rally was still stronger-than-average into the second high on the 15 minute time frame, the market didn't react sharply to begin with. Instead, it favored a more drawn-out correction over time.
This slower correction kept the price action in Tuesday's session on the choppy side once again, but the indices still had a few decent waves of price action on the 5 minute time frame for daytraders. The first continuation pattern for the premarket reversal lower took place heading into Tuesday's opening bell. The index futures had struck support at 7:00 a.m. ET and the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Ind. Average fell into a two-wave correction on the 5 minute charts ahead of the bell. The second low in the congestion hit at about 8:20 and the second bounce off that low was slower and more drawn out than the first. This left the indices favoring a breakdown.
In the meantime, the Nasdaq futures were hitting slightly higher highs after bouncing more strongly off the 7:00 a.m. ET support and formed a 2T of their own into the open on the 5 minute charts. Both sell patterns triggered into the open. Admittedly, however, the range for the action was narrow and it was more of a scalpers market.
S&P 500 (Figure 2)
The market's weakness continued as the morning wore on. Another two-wave correction on the 5 minute charts formed between 10:00 and 10:30 a.m. ET, which led to new intraday lows into 11:00. Volume was light throughout the session but dropped off even further mid-day. The slower pace on the upside at that time helped the indices pulled lower into the early afternoon, but light volume and slow momentum persisted into the closing bell. This works in favor of the larger daily bias for more upside this month, but kept the short-term focus favoring the bears. The index futures broke lower once again afterhours.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DJI) had a loss of 17.90 points, or 0.15%, and closed at 12,018.63 on Tuesday. A third of the Dow's thirty index components posted a gain for the day. The top performer was Verizon (VZ) (+1.34%). It was followed by American Express (AXP) (+0.97%), Boeing (BA) (+0.91%), and Kraft Foods (KFT) (+0.45%). The weakest performers were Bank of America (BAC) (-1.21%), General Electric (GE) (-1.17%), Travelers (TRV) (-1.14%), and Disney (DIS) (-0.91%).
Nasdaq Composite (Figure 3)
The S&P 500 ($SPX) fell 4.61 points, or 0.35%, and closed at 1,293.77. The strongest percentage performers in the index were St. Jude Med. (STJ) (+6.13%), American Tower Corp. (AMT) (+4.53%), Netflix (NFLX) (+4.02%), and Massey Energy Co. (MEE) (+3.17%). The weakest performers were Walgreens (WAG) (-6.58%), Carnival Corp. (CCL) (-4.51%), Urban Outfitters (URBN) (-4.37%), and Marriott Intl. (MAR) (-4.25%).
The Nasdaq Composite ($COMPX) ended the session lower by 8.22 points, or 0.31%, on Tuesday and it closed at 2,683.87. The strongest performers in the Nasdaq -100 were Netflix (NFLX) (+4.02%), Apollo Group (APOL) (+3.01%), Baidu (BIDU) (+2.49%), and Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX) (+1.92%). The weakest performers were Urban Outfitters (URBN) (-4.37%), F5 Networks (FFIV) (-4.11%), CH Robinson Worldwide (CHRW) (-2.88%), and Wynn Resorts (WYNN) (-2.75%).
The continuing conflicts in Northern Africa and the Middle East have kept commodities at the forefront of the market's attention. This week Yemen's leader announced that he planned on stepping down this year, but protesters wish for more immediate action. Meanwhile, fighting continues in Libya where rebel forces have taken approximately half the country. Crude oil for May delivery settled at $104.97 on the New York Mercantile Exchange on Tuesday.
On the data front, the first half of the week has been focused on real estate. On Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. ET the FHFA Housing Price Index showed that home prices once again slid in January. The housing data continues on Wednesday at 7:00 a.m. ET with the MBA Mortgage Index and at 10:00 a.m. ET with the new home sales data.
The earnings docket is light this week, but some names to keep an eye on throughout the remainder of the week are General Mills (GIS) on Wednesday; Best Buy (BBY), GameStop (GME), Lennar (LEN), Oracle (ORCL), and Research In Motion (RIMM) on Thursday; and KBHome (KBH) on Friday.
Unless otherwise stated, the index action described in this article relates to the E-mini futures contracts for the respective indices. Actual index action may differ slightly in terms of pattern formation, although the market bias will remain the same.

Report: Lakers may consider trading Howard
The Lakers might consider trading Dwight Howard before February's trade deadline, according to an ESPN report.
Citing unnamed sources, the report states that Howard's unhappiness with his role under coach Mike D'Antoni and the fact that the All Star centre can walk away as an unrestricted free agent this summer - leaving the Lakers without compensation for Howard - may cause Los Angeles to consider trading him, despite management's belief that they can still get Dwight to re-sign with the team.
Despite their struggles through the first half of the season, the Lakers are said to not want to make any major moves before the trade deadline because they've already had to deal with a lot of roster turnover between injuries to Howard, Steve Nash, Pau Gasol, Jordan Hill and Steve Blake. In addition, L.A. replaced head coach Mike Brown with D'Antoni just five games into the season. At the time, it was expected that Phil Jackson would replace Brown.
The Lakers have lost three straight games and currently sit 12th in the Western Conference at 17-24, four games behind the eighth and final playoff spot.
Howard was acquired in the three-team summer blockbuster that saw Andrew Bynum head from Los Angeles to Philadelphia and Andre Iguodala move from Philly to Denver.
Howard admitted earlier this season that he preferred a trade to Brooklyn over L.A., but the Nets don't have the salary cap space to sign the big man to the maximum contract he desires, so any move to Brooklyn would require a trade. The report also states that should Howard leave the Lakers as a free agent this summer, Dallas and Atlanta would be the favourites to land him.

Playing Mayfield High School football has changed the way William Higginson views things.
Higginson said his team is filled with talented players, and if he doesn't focus, he could easily be replaced. It's how he imagines the workplace. If he's not working hard enough, he might not keep his job. And Higginson doesn't want to do anything half-hearted.
William Higginson, son of William and Angela Higginson, is the Mid-Continent University Teen of the Week. Each Monday, the Sun features a different MCU Teen of the Week selected from nominees who high school guidance counselors throughout western Kentucky and southern Illinois submit to the Sun. Mid-Continent University will provide each Teen of the Week with a $2,500 annual scholarship to its university, which is renewable for four years. In the spring, a Teen of the Year will be chosen from the weekly winners and will receive a full four-year scholarship to Mid-Continent University, currently valued at up to $55,000, or a cash reward of $2,500 paid through the Paducah Sun if the student selects another college to attend.
He's been playing sports since he was young. Whether it's baseball, basketball, track or football, Higginson said his commitment to sports has made him more mature. He also keeps a sturdy grade point average and participates in numerous school clubs. Only recently, Higginson had to quit his job at Food Giant to give himself more time to enjoy his senior year. It's a busy schedule, but he likes being busy.
Higginson is proud of his three trips to the state high school football tournament and one championship.
"After having not only success but defeat as well, it's helped me learn that I'm not superior," he said. "I can't find myself arrogant. Losing is one of my best features because it shows what I need to do to become better."
What's meant even more to him than the team's championship and many sports awards is his work with the Future Business Leaders of America club. He and his classmates raised money for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.
Higginson will go to Murray State University in the fall where he plans to play football and study to become a middle or high school social studies teacher.
Call Rebecca Feldhaus, a Paducah Sun staff writer, at 270-575-8651.
