Bringing the Method to You
Do you dream of learning the Method through personal instruction, but don't have the means or ability to travel? Then Clinton Anderson Certified Clinicians are what you've been waiting for! Certified Clinicians are personally trained by Clinton to help you learn the Method and build a better partnership with your horse.
Each Certified Clinician is hand-selected by Clinton for their extraordinary communication skills and horsemanship abilities. After receiving extensive instruction from Clinton at the Downunder Horsemanship Ranch, Certified Clinicians excel at the Fundamentals, Intermediate and Advanced levels of the Method, and are certified to instruct at the Fundamentals level.
"Each Certified Clinician has impressed me with their dedication to the Method and their ability to achieve top-level results," Clinton says. "I can say without a doubt that they exceed my expectations when it comes to instructing at the Fundamentals level. I am continually impressed with their ability to communicate and their dedication to the Method, and I know you will be too!"
Certified Clinicians offer two types of instruction - Private Lessons or 3-day Fundamentals Clinics. In either option, the Certified Clinician comes straight to you (that means no long distance traveling or the hassle of hauling a horse!).
What is the difference between a Certified Clinician and a Professional Clinician?
Certified Clinicians have successfully completed the Fundamentals level of Downunder Horsemanship Clinics. In addition, they have completed an in-depth course of study on the Method at the Fundamentals, Intermediate and Advanced levels, receiving personal instruction from Clinton at the Stephenville ranch. Upon successful completion of the course, they are certified to instruct at the Fundamentals level. Professional Clinicians have taken their study of the Method further by passing courses in colt starting, problem solving and handling foals.
Why did Clinton select these individuals?
Clinton hand-selected the Certified Clinicians because they possess the four core values of Downunder Horsemanship - hard working, ambitious, loyal and personable. Not only are they excellent horseman, but they also have great people skills. They truly believe in Clinton's Method and are dedicated to teaching just like Clinton. "Each of the Certified Clinicians has impressed me with their ability to achieve top-level results," Clinton says. "They are extremely passionate about the Method and possess all of the qualities I was looking for in an individual."
How did they become a Certified Clinician?
Clinton was impressed with these standout clinic participants, who had an overwhelming desire to share the Method. They worked side by side with Clinton at the ranch receiving intense instruction at the Fundamentals, Intermediate and Advanced levels of the Method. After completing their in-depth training with Clinton, they are certified to instruct at the Fundamentals level. "They are very talented with horses and have excellent communication skills," Clinton says. "The Certified Clinicians come with my full stamp of approval. I'm beyond impressed with their ability to teach and work with horses, and I know you will be too."
What can a Certified Clinician do for me?
If you're like most horsemen, you dream of having Clinton by your side, instructing you step-by-step through the Method. However, if you can't travel to the Downunder Horsemanship Ranch to work with Clinton one-on-one, then you can have the next best thing! Certified Clinicians can build your confidence, increase your horse's trust and respect, give you practical tips and strategies to overcome training roadblocks and shorten your learning curve. Each Certified Clinician is backed by Clinton. "I selected these individuals to help me teach the Method because I truly believe in their ability to communicate with people and teach in the exact same style I do," Clinton explains. "After working with me on the ranch, I am a hundred percent confident that they can help you develop a better partnership with your horse." Certified Clinicians can provide in-depth instruction at the Fundamentals level of the Method, and are available for Private Lessons and 3-day Fundamentals Clinics.
