Enrollment Update: One Spot Available for 2026

021026_01

An unexpected opportunity has opened for a driven horseman. Due to an unfortunate withdrawal, one participation spot is now available in the 2026 Clinician Academy.

Opportunities like this are rare as enrollment typically fills well in advance. This year’s Clinician Academy will take place April 6 through May 22 at the Downunder Horsemanship Ranch in Farmington, Arkansas.

The course is a seven-week, immersive, hands-on experience and the most in-depth way to learn the Downunder Horsemanship Method. Participants work daily with our professional team while training two of their own horses, gaining a level of understanding and feel that simply can’t be achieved through clinics or study alone. From groundwork through riding, the focus is on learning how to read each horse, make effective decisions in the moment and confidently work through real training challenges.

The course goes beyond horsemanship and effectively applying the Method. The Academy also prepares participants for success in the horse industry, covering the realities of working with clients, running a training operation and building a reputation rooted in results, consistency and integrity.

Graduates of the Clinician Academy are part of an elite group of horsemen who chose to fully commit to their education, their horsemanship and their future. Whether your goal is personal mastery of the Method or pursuing horsemanship as a profession, this program provides the tools, experience and confidence to move forward with purpose.

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to take the next step, this may be it. With only one spot available, enrollment will close as soon as it’s filled, and the next opportunity won’t come until 2027.
