Find it on the No Worries Club Website: The Four-Day Rule

NWCfind

“When we’re training horses at the ranch, we have a four-day rule for introducing exercises and dropping exercises out of the rotation. This ‘rule,’ as well as training the horses on the trail and over the obstacle course, keeps their lessons interesting and new. A horse that is engaged in what you’re teaching him will make progress, while a horse that is not challenged or bored will become resentful and cranky about working with you,” Clinton says.

If you’ve ever wondered how you should progress through the Method or when to introduce or to move on from an exercise, you’ll want to read “The Four-Day Rule” article in the spring issue of the No Worries Journal. In the article, Clinton explains how he takes a horse through the exercises in the Fundamentals, Intermediate and Advanced levels of the Method. Log on to the No Worries Club website to read the article now.

The No Worries Club website contains a complete library (43 issues) of Clinton’s No Worries Journal that is available to members only. This exclusive content includes how-to training articles, inspirational stories from horsemen who are applying the Method to their horses, Clinton’s personal thoughts and lessons learned throughout his career, and behind-the-scenes access to the Downunder Horsemanship Ranch and how Clinton cares for his horses.
