Clinton V.S. Pat

..It's ORANGE!! Lol. We have a shortened/broken Lunge whip, I use it to mostly beat my bf with. :) lol.. oh, It works good with the horses too, lol..Not to beat them.. Let me clear that up, before someone that thinks I'm a Rick Gore Minion, starts makes up another one, lol. To lunge them with.

I've tried using a lunge whip, to "whippy". The advantage of the carrot stick is that it is stiff. It allows the use of steady pressure on the horse which is not possible with a flexible stick.
I have also found by testing on my wife (just kidding, my hand actually :) ) that used with the same force a flexible whip causes much more pain than I can achieve with a carrot stick. I assume that CAs stick has similar characteristics as he probably got the idea when he was training under the Parelli system. I'd just choose the cheapest.
Incidentally I have seen cheap copies of the carrot stick by other manufacturers and considered buying them, but they were just to flexible.

No, I know that, lol.. I thought Clinton Anderson Participated in the Extreme Cowboy Race?.. I do like Craig Cameron, by the way!

Hmmm...Pat is older than I realized...

Truthfully, if I was going to buy anyone's "stick and string" thing, it would be Dennis Reis's. At least his has that handy little hook at one end.

As for who invented the Carrot Stick in particular, that would be PP, but it's really nothing more than his own take and some speshul name he slapped on something that has been used for millennia in the horse-handling arena.

Well, yah, that's my conclusion (though Clinton never says, "I got this stick idea from PNH"), because his mentor in Australia, Ian whats-his-name, wasn't a stick user, the reiners in USA weren't, but PNH is.

If you conclude differently, you should give a reason for it.

My point is that CA first come over he worked under top reining trainer then went back to AUS. Not sure I have ever seen any thing that states he ever worked under PP.

My point is that if you think that every trainer who uses a stick and string worked under PP you are wrong. Stacy has been using a stick and string for years and she has never worked under PP or done any of his programs. She is much better then he would ever hope to be.

Again, it's that we were discussing Clinton's history with the stick, relative to Pat's! How lousy or good Pat is at cueing, how much better Stacy is than Pat, the fact that you never heard that Clinton studied under PNH etc, obfuscate OP's simple question, which asked for the facts, not opinions.

Show me your facts then? Show me proof that CA ever trained under PP.

Again the fact is that neither invented the device. It has been around a long long time before either of them ever set foot on earth.

The carrot stick is a nice version of a stick (that you find out in the woods) and that's about it. No body owns it
