FILES2f20152f092f0922_03.jpg.jpg

You read that right – Clinton is offering his personal horses for lease for participants to work with during his Intermediate Clinic! The clinic will take place November 6th-16th at the Downunder Horsemanship Ranch in Stephenville, Texas and is for horsemen who have mastered the Fundamentals level of the Method and are ready to move on to the next challenge.

The Intermediate Clinic covers 16 groundwork exercises and 17 riding exercises, including Sidepassing, Bridle Bending, Rollbacks, Shoulder In/Shoulder Out, Leads, and Draw to a Walk. During the clinic, Clinton works with participants in the arena, on the trail and over his obstacle course to test and challenge their horsemanship skills. If you’re looking to take the respect and trust you developed with your horse in the Fundamentals Series to a new level of performance, this is the clinic for you!

Leasing one of Clinton’s horses, all of which have been through the entire Method and most of which are retired reiners or cow horses, is beneficial if:

  1. You want to learn or fine-tune the Intermediate level exercises that focus more on suppling and softening the horse’s five body parts, but know that your horse isn’t good enough at the Fundamentals to be accepted into the clinic. (A video application is required when signing up for the Intermediate Clinic.)
  2. You want to learn the Intermediate exercises on a well-trained horse that will help you learn the correct way. Instead of struggling with both your and your horse’s learning curve as you try to figure out the second level of the Method, Clinton’s horses know the Intermediate exercises by heart and will help you learn, ensuring you make more progress during the clinic.
  3. You want to know what it feels like to ride a well-trained athlete. The responsiveness, softness and willingness of Clinton’s horses will better your feel and timing and allow you to focus on developing your skills as a horseman.

If you’re interested in leasing one of Clinton’s horses to participate in the Intermediate Clinic, contact Brittney Morgan at [email protected] or 254-552-1080. Learn more about the Intermediate Clinic, including application requirements, on our website.
