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. When he was fifteen, he started apprenticeships with nationally acclaimed horse trainers, Gordon McKinlay and, later, Ian Francis. He travels extensively--conducting clinics and appearing as a headlining speaker at many of the major equine events throughout North America. He lives at his new ranch in Stephensville, Texas.
