Are You and Your Horse Perfect Candidates for the Academy Horse Program?

0111_03

Our Professional Clinicians and Method Ambassadors train horses for the public following Clinton’s Academy Horse Program. The trainers are located throughout the United States as well as in Canada and Germany. The six-week training program is perfect for you if:

You have a “problem” horse…
All problems are caused by a lack of respect or fear, or in some cases, both. No matter what the source of your horse’s problem, the Fundamentals is the answer to earning his respect and trust. If you don’t want to give up on your horse, the Academy’s boot camp-like training program is the solution. Our success in turning horses that have been deemed dangerous and hopeless cases into willing partners is unparalleled. We’ll give your horse the opportunity to prove he’s a reliable partner full of potential.

You have an unstarted or green broke horse…
A truly broke horse needs equal doses of long rides, wet saddle pads and concentrated training. Unfortunately, there are times in life when your schedule doesn’t allow you to work consistently with your horse. We dedicate 2 ½ hours a day, six days a week to each training horse in order for them to be safe and respectful partners. Your horse will learn essential groundwork exercises, be ridden in the arena, on the trail, with other horses and worked extensively over an obstacle course. By the end of his training, your horse will have a great foundation in place for you to build off and go on to excel in the discipline of your choice.

Please note that only Professional Clinicians or Method Ambassadors certified to start colts are able to accept horses that need started under saddle in for training.

You are an inexperienced horseman…
You may have the best intentions in the world, love your horse unconditionally and have an unlimited amount of time to dedicate to working with him but lack the knowledge and experience to train him. That’s where we step in. We’ll develop a safe, respectful partner for you to not only have fun with, but with his training he will make you a better horseman. Your horse’s knowledge of the Fundamentals will help improve your confidence, fine-tune your horsemanship abilities and make the time you spend with your equine partner more enjoyable.
