Training Buffalo for Fence Work
When Clinton decided to add buffalo to his reined cow horse training program, fellow Aussies Duncan Steele-Park and Glen Aspinall came to the ranch to help him learn how to safely work with the animals. Clinton shares the training process with No Worries Club members in the series, “Training Buffalo.” The June digital download for members features part four in the series.
“We started by selecting three buffalo that would work well with my horses, meaning I wanted one to practice cutting with, one to practice fence work with and one to practice circling with. Once we had the buffalo selected, Duncan helped me learn how to train one of them for cutting,” Clinton explains.
In the newest installment of the series, Glen helps Clinton prepare one of the buffalo for fence work. “It’s a step-by-step process, and as the training session progresses, I get more fascinated by how similar buffalo are to horses. This lesson is not only interesting from the standpoint of learning to work with buffalo, but it offers tips about how to build your horse’s confidence around other animals and even vehicles,” Clinton shares.
