Advice to Aspiring Ambassadors

0305_04

The 2019 Clinician Academy gets underway at the end of April, and we’ll welcome horsemen from around the world to the ranch to hone their skills and understanding of the Fundamentals level of the Method. Those who receive a score of at least a B+ on a practical and written exam will graduate the course as Method Ambassadors, certified to teach the Fundamentals.

Here are a few success tips from our 2019 Method Ambassadors about how to make the most of your time at the ranch:

Your attitude and the effort you put into the Academy are everything. If you show up and are willing to work and can take criticism with a smile, you’ll succeed. Whatever energy you put out is the energy Clinton returns to you. – Method Ambassador Jordan Budowski

Work with and ride as many different horses as you possibly can before coming to the Academy. Clinton and his clinicians are not there to teach you how to ride, they’re there to teach you how to better your skills and perfect the Fundamentals. – Method Ambassador Christa Curry

I knew that the Academy would be physically tasking, but I didn’t realize how much it would take mentally to succeed. There’s definitely as much mental pressure as there is physical pressure put on you throughout the program. – Method Ambassador Joni Small

A few participant spots are available for the 2019 course. To learn all about the seven-week program and download the application, visit our website. Acceptance into the program is on a first-come, first-served basis.
