Fall Clinician Academy Underway

1004_03

Horsemen attending the fall session of the Clinician Academy began arriving at the ranch on Saturday and finished moving in on Sunday. Monday morning, they were officially welcomed to the Academy by Clinton and Professional Clinician Kristin Hamacher, who is teaching the course. After the orientation meeting, Kristin got the class busy training their horses. The students will focus on groundwork the next few days and then progress to riding. Throughout the seven-week course, they’ll teach their two personal horses the entire Fundamentals level of the Method.

The course will wrap up the week of November 14th with two days of testing and a ceremony to celebrate the horsemen who earn certification as Method Ambassadors.

Next year’s spring course is full, and a few participation spots are available in the fall session. Participation in the Clinician Academy is on a first-come, first-served basis. Learn more about the course on the Downunder Horsemanship website.
