Best Wishes to Our Summer Clinician Academy Students

0726_01

Horsemen in our summer Clinician Academy have worked hard to hone their skills the past several weeks and are now in their final day of testing. Earlier in the course, they took a written exam covering the philosophy behind the Method, and yesterday, they started their practical exam, where they’re asked to demonstrate each of the Fundamentals groundwork and riding exercises in front of Clinton for a grade. Yesterday, they performed the groundwork exercises, and today, they’re completing the riding exercises.

When the final scores are tallied, horsemen receiving a B+ or higher will receive certification as Method Ambassadors. Our ambassadors teach the Fundamentals level of the Method and train horses for the public. In a ceremony tomorrow evening, we’ll welcome our newest ambassadors to the team and celebrate their achievements.

The seven-week course has been taught by Professional Clinician Kristin Hamacher and the horsemen have impressed her and Clinton with their dedication to the Method and their work ethic. Join us in wishing everyone good luck!
