Clinton
Anderson was born and raised in Australia where at the age of six his
family recognized a natural ability with horses and cultivated his interest,
buying him his first horse at age nine. Whe he was fifteen, he apprenticed
with nationally acclaimed horse trainers Gordon McKinlay, and later, Ian
Francis. During this time he started and trained over 600 horses, and
three years later, he used his knowledge and expertise to start his own
horse training facility.
In 1996, Clinton came to the United States and worked with Al Dunning,
winner of multiple American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) world championships,
and five years later, he became the first horse trainer to launch a “made-for-TV”
weekly training program. Anderson won the prestigious El Camino del
Caballo (“The Road to the Horse”) colt-starting competition
in 2003 and 2005, and currently travels extensively, conducting clinics
and speaking throughout North America. He and his wife live in Belle Center,
Ohio.
Clinton's book Downunder Horsemanship: Establishing Respect and Control for English and
Western Riders is a bestseller.
