Some people mistakenly believe that their training approach needs to change for the stature of the horse they’re working with. “That’s simply not true,” Clinton says, “The Method applies equally to a draft horse, a stock horse, and a pony. Though their sizes may vary, they’re all horses. The concept of pressure and release makes just as much sense to a Shetland Pony as it does to a Clydesdale.”
In the February 2009 No Worries Club video, Clinton works with Joy, a 3-year old Belgian to demonstrate how to apply the Method to draft horses.
