The American Competitive Trail Horse Association, ACTHA, is excited to announce that they have become a sponsor of Downunder Horsemanship and Clinton Anderson.

“We are excited to have ACTHA on board!” Said Clinton Anderson. “In addition to helping horse charities, trail riders gain a national stage to show what they have learned using Downunder Horsemanship’s methods.”

Highlights of the sponsorship include ACTHA presence at all Walkabout Tour stops, commercials during the RFD-TV program Downunder Horsemanship and a full Downunder Horsemanship episode dedicated to Clinton teaching his proven Method on various trail obstacles that are challenges on the ACTHA Trail Rides.

Carrie Scrima, Co-Founder of ACTHA says, “We always dreamed of being on Clinton’s show but never dreamed it would happen so soon. Then again, we never dreamed thousands and thousands of trail riders and their wonderful horses would answer the call for help as forcefully as they have! It’s an amazing thing to witness. At the rate of growth we are currently experiencing ACTHA, with everyone’s help; we will take a serious bite out of the horse hunger dilemma. This sponsorship with Downunder Horsemanship will fuel ACTHA to be the conduit for tons of hay and much needed supplies getting to the true heroes of the movement.the horse rescues all across America. To say that we are proud to partner with Downunder Horsemanship to share our story is an understatement.”

Karen Vangetson, ACTHA’s Co-Founder continues, “When you think of the unwanted horse many times you are talking about horse unemployment. ACTHA is striving to create more jobs and a stage for all horses to perform on! Therein lays the eventual major solution to the problem before us. ACTHA will more than likely have 15,000+ rider entries into our events in 2010 and eventually hundreds of thousands of entries. Here the horse and rider can come together in a fun packed, one day affordable local venue and show that the partnership we entered into hundreds of years ago is still alive and well. We know creating this sport will get these wonderful animals back into jobs and loving homes. And that’s good for the horse AND the industry.

This sponsorship of Downunder Horsemanship will get us there sooner than later”.
