Trainer Biography
Clifford, 30, has developed a deep appreciation for horses through years of learning and growing alongside his family. What began as a personal interest soon became a shared passion with his son and two daughters, creating countless opportunities to learn valuable lessons in patience, trust, and perseverance. As a trainer, Clifford strives to approach each horse with patience, confidence, and consistency. He believes that building a willing partner starts with clear communication, emotional control, and earning a horse's trust through thoughtful, fair handling. His goal is to help each horse gain confidence while developing a strong foundation that will set them up for long-term success. Clifford is excited for the opportunity to participate in the Bluegrass Mustang Makeover and looks forward to continuing his growth as a horseman while showcasing the incredible potential of the American Mustang.
