Ten Horsemen Certified as Method Ambassadors

We are proud to announce the certification of 10 dedicated horsemen as Method Ambassadors. These accomplished individuals successfully completed the rigorous Clinician Academy last week, marking a major milestone in their horsemanship journeys and a significant step in their professional careers.

2025 Method Ambassadors:

• • Trent Burch
  • Maddison Burkhart
  • Morgan Foster
  • Synda Hunting
  • Rachel Johnk
  • Matt Loertscher
  • Jessica Shepherd
  • Adam O’Daniel
  • Katlyn Triano
  • Mindy Vance

The Clinician Academy is an intensive, hands-on training program designed by Clinton to teach horsemen how to effectively train horses and share the Method with others. Over the course of several weeks, students are taught by Professional Clinician Jeff Davis and immersed in the Fundamentals level of the Method. They work daily with two of their personal horses to develop their skills, confidence and understanding of the philosophy behind the Method.

After weeks of hard work, these 10 graduates earned the title of Method Ambassador during a formal graduation ceremony. The ceremony was a celebration of their passion for the Method, their horsemanship growth and their commitment to the future of Downunder Horsemanship.

Following graduation, the newly certified ambassadors spent two days working closely with the Downunder Horsemanship media team. Each ambassador took part in professional video interviews and a photo shoot that will be used to introduce them to the Downunder Horsemanship community and highlight their individual journeys. The sessions will also provide the ambassadors with polished marketing assets to kickstart their careers as professional clinicians representing the Method.

The new ambassadors are already hard at work preparing to begin their careers. We will formally introduce them to you at the end of June. Through the certifiedclinician.com website, social media and No Worries Club platforms, we’ll share their full stories, their passion for training and what led them to pursue a career helping people and horses through the Method.
