2016 Downunder Horsemanship Ranch Clinics

Clinton is instructing three levels of horsemanship clinics in 2016 at the Downunder Horsemanship Ranch in Stephenville, Texas. Participants get to utilize Clinton’s 350-foot outdoor round arena, elaborate obstacle course that includes over 20 challenges and miles of trails and dirt tracks that surround the ranch. Participants’ horses are given their own individual runs on the clinic grounds, complete with shelters, automatic waterers, hay mangers and no-tip feeders. Each run has an associated tack/hay/feed storage area and its own Patience Pole.

Fundamentals Clinic, May 6th – 16th

Participants gain first-hand knowledge on how to transform a stiff, heavy and unwilling horse into a soft, supple and cooperative partner. Learn exercises to improve your seat, build your confidence and increase your sense of feel and timing – essential ingredients to becoming a skilled horseman. Clinic curriculum focuses on Clinton’s horsemanship philosophy and over 30 groundwork and riding exercises.

Cost: $1,500/No Worries Club members and $3,000 for non-members

Colt Starting Clinic, June 1st – 11th

Clinton helps participants take their young horses from unstarted colts to riding on the trail in 10 days. Clinton’s approach to colt starting, which he learned from his late Australian mentor Gordon McKinlay, is focused on preparation and safety for both horse and rider.

If the idea of participating in the clinic is overwhelming, but the opportunity to have a colt started under Clinton’s tutelage is appealing, there is a limited opportunity for owners of colts to have one of Clinton’s clinicians or Academy students start their colts. Contact Brittney Morgan for more information at 254-552-1080 or [email protected].

Cost to participate in the clinic or have a Certified Clinician train your colt: $1,500/No Worries Club members or $3,000/non-members

Cost to have an Academy student train your colt in the clinic: $740 ($500 for the clinic and 12 days of board at $20/day.)

Intermediate Clinic, November 1st -11th

The second level of Clinton’s horsemanship method focuses on gaining even more control of the horse’s feet on the ground and achieving true lightness and suppleness in the saddle. Emphasis is placed on gaining control of the horse’s five body parts – the head and neck, poll, shoulders, ribcage and hindquarters because total control of the horse’s body results in total confidence and collection.

Immersed in the Method
At clinics, participants live and breathe horsemanship and receive hands-on instruction from Clinton and his clinicians. Clinics begin each day at 9 a.m. and run until 5 p.m., and Clinton’s clinicians are available each morning and evening for additional personalized help. Besides learning essential exercises to gain a horse’s trust, participants learn how to put that knowledge to use in practical settings while working over an obstacle course and on the trail.
