Re: [RC] Clinicians some good , some suck. - CK

I am reasonably intelliegent (JMHO), educated and have been riding 52 yrs..  I 
have gone to many clinics and taken many lessons. I have also been launched , 
kicked and stepped on. 
Gone to three NH type clinics ,with colts to start under saddle . Two 
clinicians were great.** The other had the GOD complex and his groupie 
followers. He was super arrogant to me when I asked him questions. Had his 
little mystical aura and his NH cowboy gear. Always sat his horse and talked 
down to us when we were standing. Would repeat my questions and then be very 
sarcastic, I thought.. He left me alone  in a round pen on a 16 hd., adopted 
wild MUSTANG while he showed the groupies how a colt would lie down under 
saddle to roll in the bigger pen.  I was 58 yrs. old ,at the time, with 
fibromyelgia and arthritis. Did not appreciate his  manner. I did give him 
written feedback. That is no way to teach adults ( or any one else) who paid 
about $500 for a clinic. Some participants did come up and tell me I was doing 
very well with my MUstang and also  gave sympathy for the was Mr. Too Cool was 
acting.
***I highly recommend ED Dabney and Brad Cameron.
