Ritchie Charity Ball Toss
At each Walkabout Tour, a local organization with equine connections is selected to run the Ritchie Charity Ball Toss. Throughout the two-day event, spectators purchase tennis balls from the non-profit organization for $5, and on Sunday afternoon toss them into the arena trying to be the closest to a pre-determined marker. Those closest to the marker receive Clinton’s instructional DVDs and Downunder Horsemanship training tools. All money raised goes straight to the non-profit organization.

Trouble-Free Trailer Loading
A master teacher, Clinton knows that sometimes the best way to teach someone is to first show them what NOT to do. Clinton will have you laughing as you watch him go through all the “don’ts” of loading your horse on a trailer. Despite its humor, this demonstration will open your eyes and advance your horsemanship education. Demonstrating with a local horse that is fearful of the trailer, Clinton not only teaches the horse to confidently step on the trailer, but by the end of the demo, he has the horse loading on the trailer by itself. With Clinton’s techniques, the trailer becomes a place of security rather than fear.
