2025 Clinician Academy is Underway

0408_01a

This past weekend, we welcomed an enthusiastic group of horsemen and their horses to the Downunder Horsemanship Ranch in Arkansas. Even though it was pouring rain, the weather couldn’t dampen everyone’s excitement for this year’s Clinician Academy.

The horsemen spent the weekend getting themselves and their horses settled in at the ranch, and yesterday morning, the Academy officially got underway with an orientation meeting led by Clinton and Professional Clinician Jeff Davis. After the meeting, the class set to work training their horses, starting with the Fundamentals level roundpenning exercises.

Each of the horsemen brought two of their personal horses with them to train throughout the seven-week program. They’ll learn to finesse their skill set and will be tested on their knowledge through the course’s practical and written exams.

Those who pass the required testing will receive certification at the end of the course and will join our team of Method Ambassadors.

Learn more about the Clinician Academy and what the horsemen will learn on the Downunder Horsemanship website.
