Clinton Anderson | The Converse Cowboy (Full Interview)

Interview with legendary horseman and clinician, Clinton Anderson.
Warning! This episode contains extremely foul language! The 1st Amendment protects the freedom of speech here in the United States of America and Clinton Anderson fully exercises that right throughout this episode.
Clinton simply says out loud what most people are thinking and although he wraps those verbal thoughts in a blanket of curse words, there is a sense of authenticity that comes with them that you can't help but respect.
He pulls the curtain back on the Downunder Horsemanship Empire. Three and a half hours of unfiltered and raw conversation. We talk business, horses, marketing, successes, failures and lessons he's learned along the way.
Behind the profanity and foul language is a man that has mastered his craft as a clinician and horseman. Clinton Anderson has kept tens of thousands of people safe as they followed his method pursuing a journey with their horse and a better understanding of basic horsemanship.

It’s nice to hear someone who says what they mean regardless. Great interview!

[@albatraozgirl]

😂 I love Clinton so much. He's hilarious. He's also wise. I found The Method a decade ago and loved it. I'm glad I stumbled on this interview.

[@angeledmonds300]

I love love love Clinton. Been a fan of him and his method for almost 25 years.

[@duckscitomaster1308]

he should be trained like he trains those horses..

[@user-zn8wz2lu9q]

Love the comment from the aussie guy. I was just scrolling training vids. Never planned on watching 3hr interview with C.A. and I don't necessarily like him any more now than I did before. BUT, it was a refreshing few hours of honesty to offset the saturation of dishonesty from watching politicians.

[@edswalkinghorses]

This a a good interview. People don’t realize how hard it is to grow a business and make it profitable. It takes an insane amount of effort and perseverance. I always signed my checks and managed the money, focused on the NET. Your customers and employees have a different motivation, you need to listen to them but through a filter. You can’t let the tail wag the dog. I almost lost everything 3 times generating 9 figures but was able to cash out with chips on the table.

[@RossJacobs]

As an Aussie horse trainer I want to say on behalf of all horses in Australia that we can never thank you Americans enough for taking Anderson off our hands. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Please feel free to keep him.

After listening to this I have a new-found respect for Clinton. His business sense is pretty spot on. As a woman that's in the same age range as Clinton and who has owned businesses, he has learned many of the same things as I have, and both of us learned it the hard way. His words of wisdom in this podcast can save a young person a ton of struggle. On a personal note he comes off pretty crude, always has, but I also heard in this that he's got a soft spot in him. He is correct, you don't have to question where he stands. No b.s. with him which I fully respect. His horsemanship methods aren't quite my cup of tea, but I can see how for some it is easier to understand than other programs. I personally enjoy the psychology of Lyons and Parelli more and Clinton has it wrong when he says they promote just loving on the horse and feeding it cookies. There's a ton of teaching about respect and discipline when needed in both programs. I remember John Lyons, who's a calm, soft-spoken man, say that if a horse bites you you have 3 seconds to make it believe it was one of the worst decisions it ever made and it almost died because of it. The rules are you only have 3 seconds to do what you need to do and no hitting on the face or below the knees or hocks. It works and no, there are no cookies given afterwards. Parelli has a same approach. So Clinton, ya need to revisit those programs in full again. In summary, this was a great interview and the story of Clinton shatting himself I'll never forget! 😂

Your Horses are your Hobbies.... Been a member of No Worries Club for years and love the results everytime, Due to Clinton DUH.. Thanks mate.... You wrote the book that I never could find as a fucking kid!!! Love ya Guts! Your Grandma Rocked by the way!!

[@AugustusMcCrae23]

I respect the hell out of Clinton. As a horseshoers son I was raised to understand a horses manners but I watch a lot of his videos and others because as a cowboy as well I want to get better at my horsemanship

[@horsehaircreationsbykaren]

He worked himself to almost suicide. He healed himself. More lessons learned.

[@adamw4469]

1:59:50 we see the larger than life character shrink back in to a normal person. Great interview Mike!

[@tiffanyq.6004]

I heard it several times in this interview. He isn't 100% a$$hole as he comes off as. Very good interview.

[@ajsaldana7087]

Man this guys awesome. The world needs a lot more Clints.

[@TammySaj-zm6kr]

Really watch the video of him beating a blind paint horse 🐎 He floods horse's and blames the horse for bad behavior after he floods them and gets them worked up. And then he's hitting a blind horse. No respect for this man and would never allow him near my horse. His own country didn't claim him. 😮😮😮😮😮😮he's a terrible trainer 🤣 😅😅😅

[@hhlagen]

There are so many trainers out there. Clinton has been around for a long while. Some love him, some hate him. Pick and choose from the smorgasbord of trainers out there. Gotta give him respect for where he came from and where he is now.

[@adamw4469]

100%. The parallels between training horses and dogs is seemingly endless. There is even a bird dog training method boldly called The Method. I’m sure it is the same with horse people but dog people are both some of the most incredible people I have ever met as well as some of the most troubled. Good stuff.

[@enzomahalo2433]

I did not know Mindy died. R.I.P. Mindy, you were a great inspiration and the best liberty. Still we love you. 😢

[@nicolaspodetti...]

I listened to all of Clinton's interviews, this one goes deep into a lot of topics, i love it ! Thanks In the video, you're talking about a previous interview with Luca Fappani, where can we find it ?

[@davidheinly553]

That's what is great about "The Method" if your consistent with your training it will work.

[@cowgirl4Christ63]

"When me and Capt Morgan get together" lol. Same here.. Had to slow that train down.

[@PONYHEAVEN]

A treasure full of truth, this interview.

[@BlackJack09]

How can you not love Clinton 😂

[@user-zn8wz2lu9q]

I wish Jimmy Buffet would have got ahold of some of the Captain Morgan references, at least once great song from those lyrical analogies.

[@jamesdunn1272]

Great interview!

Can I use your saying.. "You got bucked off cause you did a piss poor job.. Your preparation was shit" . the next time I pay a trainer gets on my horse.

Clinton… you can buy and expensive suit and it can still be the wrong suit.. most white dudes are too pale to be in a black shirt. Dark blue or dark grey suit.. white or light blue shirt. You’ll look tan and healthy and like a guy who knows how to wear the classics

[@LukeGrey-cr7xz]

I’m hearing you !

[@christinalecomte4216]

He makes Pat Parelli look good

[@cristinafarmer]

Please return him to Australia. His presence is not needed, particularly in my state of Arkansas, where he recently relocated. I have professionally worked with horses from his program and their conditions are poor. This man lacks finesse and true equitation skills. There is definitely a disconnect between his training methods and those who genuinely care for horses.

[@sleeplessdreamer210]

He seems like a very angry person. . . . . .maybe he could use a hobby

[@KK-mm8ms]

Lots of ways to train horses. Glad you found and believe in yours!

[@grahamtrigwell3042]

I have seen videos of Clinton sorting out some horrid downright nasty dangerous horses that are allowed to get like that because of fucking idiots like you . The worst part is you know as soon as the horse gets on a float to go home it will revert back to being an idiot because you can see the owners should never own a horse they are too fucking stupid which brings us to the point you are most probably in this bracket too fucking stupid to own a horse
