Join us in congratulating our Method Ambassadors who recently earned their colt-starting certification. The four horsemen participated in a Colt Starting Clinic taught by Professional Clinician Jeff Davis and proved that they have the ability to start a horse under saddle.
2022 Colt Starting Certification:
Among participants in the clinic were three ambassadors, Jim Anderson, Natalie Hagler and Tracy Reed, who’d previously earned their colt-starting certification but took part in the clinic to add to their skill set. Their dedication to continuing to add to their knowledge and refine their skills impressed Clinton and Jeff.
Clinton added the additional certification for Method Ambassadors in an effort to help customers make better informed decisions about the clinician or ambassador they send their horses to get trained to. Ambassadors who complete a colt starting course and receive a passing mark from Downunder Horsemanship will be certified to accept colts for training. The certification does not permit them to teach clinics or private lessons focused on colt starting. Teaching other horsemen the colt-starting techniques is reserved for Professional Clinicians.
Find a Method Ambassador certified to start colts by visiting the Certified Clinician website. Ambassadors who have earned the additional level of training will have a colt starting certification logo on their profile photo and the accomplishment will be listed on their webpages.
