How We Train
Clinton Anderson's Method
Kristine has trained with The Method for over 21 years. It uses groundwork, body language, and pressure and release to teach a horse to think instead of react. Horse and rider learn to work as a team.
Respect
A horse that respects your space and your cues is a safer horse to be around.
Trust
Calm, confident horses come from training that builds trust, not fear.
Consistency
The same clear message every day, so the horse always knows what's being asked.
Clear Communication
Pressure and release your horse understands, so you can keep the results at home.
K Bar M Equine Services is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Clinton Anderson or Downunder Horsemanship.
