why didnt you desensitize the horses' right side as well?

[MirandaTurpin]

@greeneyed78

Great question! What you do one side of the horse, you always do to the other. I actually did desensitize both sides of the horse very thoroughly, but for the sake of time I only show one side on the video.

Love this video. I am very interested in the method and went to a few of Clintons demos but I can never remember exactly how its done. Your videos have helped me QUITE a bit! Thanks so much! (:

[MirandaTurpin]

@crazyyjumpergurl Thank you. I am glad that you enjoyed the videos and that they were helpful to you. Please keep in mind that these videos are meant to be examples only, don't try to pattern yourself after me. I am still very green at the method and have a LOT to improve. If you are really interested in learning and perfecting the Method I highly suggest you check out the No Worries club. I pay $19.99/month for it and it's some of the best money I spend. Just check it out.

Wow, great job! Clinton Anderson's method is wonderful. Goodluck in your training.

[MirandaTurpin]

@MsBabeandMe Thank you. Clinton's Method basically saved my career with horses. I had a bad accident a couple years back and really lost a lot of my confidence. Thanks to Clinton, I've got it all back and I'm doing better than ever. I'm glad to hear that The Method has worked for you too. I'm convinced that Downunder Horsemanship is the best way... at least for me.

[MsBabeandMe]

@MirandaTurpin That is wonderful, Clinton seems to be great at gaining confidence back in his students. It doesn't surprise me when he says that "it works for every horse" either, I have watched too many of his shows and can definitely see why it would work for every horse.
