Your Horse is Worth It

0404_01

Does your horse stand in his stall while you dream of one day being able to ride him? Maybe you bought him as a project to re-train but quickly realized you didn’t have the experience to help him overcome his longstanding problems. Or perhaps you wanted to start a horse yourself from the ground up and were dedicated to his training until important family and work commitments got in the way. Before you knew it, days turned into months and months into years. Now, when you do get time to spend at the barn, you leave frustrated with your lack of progress and how little you’ve been able to accomplish with your horse. Both scenarios are common and happen to horsemen all over the world.

Here’s the good news: the partnership you dream of sharing with your horse isn’t lost. You just need help, which is why Clinton created the Academy Horse program. The Academy Horse program ensures horses are trained with the Method by knowledgeable trainers who are dedicated to helping each horse become safe, willing partners. The six-week course focuses on the groundwork and riding exercises that make up the Fundamentals level of the Method. While horses are worked in the arena, the majority of their training takes place on the trail and obstacle course. Clinton is adamant that horses trained at the ranch ride just as well outside of the arena as they do inside of it.

At the end of the six-week course, when owners come to pick their horses up, they receive an entire day’s lesson with their horse, learning everything their horse was taught and how to work with him. Support from Downunder Horsemanship does not end once the horse is trained and has left the ranch. Owners receive a lifetime of support and troubleshooting from Clinton and Downunder Horsemanship to ensure their partnerships with their horses continue to go well.

Learn how you can enroll your horse in the Academy and get detailed information about the exercises and lessons he’ll learn while at the ranch on our website.
