Master the Method. Transform Your Future.

1028_01

If you’re serious about mastering the Method and turning your passion for horses into a professional career, the 2026 Clinician Academy is your opportunity. This seven-week, hands-on course is the most in-depth training we offer – it’s an immersive experience that takes you far beyond what you can learn from kits, videos or clinics.

Under the guidance of our team, led by Clinton and Professional Clinician Jeff Davis, each participant trains two of their own horses, gaining the knowledge and feel it takes to confidently put a solid foundation on a horse and trouble-shoot common issues. You’ll get into the real-world details of horse training, learning how to read a horse in every situation, make effective decisions and adapt your approach to achieve lasting results.

The Clinician Academy is more than just horsemanship – it’s about building a career. You’ll gain insight into the business side of the horse industry, from managing clients to running a training operation and building a reputation of professionalism and excellence.

Whether your goal is to join the Downunder Horsemanship team as a Method Ambassador or to elevate your own horsemanship skills, the Academy will challenge you, grow your confidence and set you apart as a true horseman.

The 2026 Academy will take place April 6 – May 22 at the Downunder Horsemanship Ranch in Farmington, Arkansas. Enrollment is limited, and once these final spots are filled, the next opportunity won’t come until 2027. If you’re ready for seven weeks of intensive instruction, personal growth and life-changing horsemanship, now’s the time to commit. Visit our website to get all the details and to fill out an application.
