Meet the Newest Method Ambassadors

0701_01

We’re thrilled to introduce the newest additions to the Downunder Horsemanship team – 10 passionate horsemen who recently graduated from the 2025 Clinician Academy and have officially earned the title of Method Ambassador.

2025 Method Ambassadors:

Trent Burch, based out of Kansas Louisburg, Kansas
Maddison Burkhart, based out of Cool, California
Morgan Foster, based out of Tracy, California
Synda Hunting, based out of Gillette, Wyoming
Rachel Johnk, based out of Iva, South Carolina
Matt Loertscher, based out of Grace, Idaho
Adam O’Daniel, based out of Seminole, Oklahoma
Jessica Shepherd, based out of Mountainburg, Arkansas

These horsemen come from all walks of life and backgrounds, but they share one common trait: a deep commitment to improving the lives of horses and their owners through the Method. After completing the rigorous, hands-on seven-week training program, they have proven they have the dedication, skill and leadership to represent Downunder Horsemanship.

Each of our new Method Ambassadors has a personal story that led them to Downunder Horsemanship and a unique approach to connecting with horse owners. They’re not only equipped with the knowledge and tools to train safe, respectful horses in the Fundamentals level of the Method – they’re passionate about helping others gain confidence, learn horsemanship and achieve results.

We’re proud to now make their services and training programs available to the public. Whether you’re looking to have your horse trained or for personalized instruction in the Fundamentals level of the Method or need just a tune-up, our newest Ambassadors are ready to help. You’ll find their official webpages and individual videos now live on the certifiedclinician.com website.

There’s no better time to get inspired by their journeys, hear what led them to pursue a career in horsemanship and connect with them. With the Method as their foundation and a passion for teaching, these Ambassadors are here to support horse owners just like you.
