Turn Your Dream Into a Reality at the Clinician Academy

0930_01

If you’re serious about taking your horsemanship to the next level, now is the time to secure a participation spot in the 2026 Clinician Academy. This seven-week, hands-on course is the only opportunity to learn the Method in such depth and detail. From groundwork to riding, you’ll gain the knowledge and skills needed to confidently train horses for the public and set yourself apart as a professional horseman.

Throughout the Academy, each participant trains two of their own horses under the guidance of our professional team. You’ll get into the nitty-gritty of horse training that goes beyond what you can learn from the training kits and even attending clinics. You’ll learn how to read a horse in every situation and accurately adapt your approach to get results as well as address challenges with confidence.

The Clinician Academy isn’t just about creating better horsemen—it’s also about preparing you for success in the horse industry. In addition to the technical training, the course dives into the business side of horsemanship, covering topics such as running a training operation, managing clients and building a reputation for excellence.

Whether your goal is to join the Downunder Horsemanship team as a Method Ambassador or simply grow as a horseman, the Academy gives you the tools and real-world experience to thrive. Graduates of the Clinician Academy are among an elite group of horsemen who have invested the time, effort and dedication it takes to truly master the Method. If you’re ready to commit to seven weeks of intensive instruction, personal growth and life-changing horsemanship, don’t wait—once these final spots are filled, the opportunity to enroll will be gone until 2027.

For more information and to secure your place in next year’s course, visit the Downunder Horsemanship website.
