What is covered in a Harry Whitney clinic?

Join Harry Whitney for two weeks of learning and adventure at Miracle Mountain Ranch in Jackson. Seven riders will spend five full days two weeks in a row riding with Harry Whitney. 

He will help riders build on their groundwork, seat, and advanced riding skills in a concentrated, yet relaxed, format. The clinic is limited to 7 participants to ensure personal attention. All breeds and riding disciplines are welcome.

In each session, participants work with Harry to improve their communication and relationship with their horse. Harry will help you to understand problems from the horse's point of view, so you can eliminate communication barriers and improve your performance together.

Harry lets the needs of the participant's dictate what is covered in any session. Over ten days, riders will be amazed at the progress they make on issues and skills they didn't even know they needed to work on.

Once you are able to communicate more clearly with your horse and understand their point of view better, you will build trust and confidence in each other.  All horsemanship skills build on this trust and communication.  Harry will help each rider advance those skills in the arena and on the trail.

About Harry Whitney

Harry has been teaching riders to think 'from the horse's point of view' for over 25 years. His background includes a wide range of experience, including everything from the skills of a working cowboy to training stunt horses. He trained under Tom Dorrence, and has taken his rightful place alongside other great people who have a special gift for understanding horses, and communicating that to riders.

Whether you are experiencing a problem on the trail or in the show ring, Harry will show you how to break down what is happening so both you and your horse understand it and can improve the outcome.

Audit and learn from the ground!

If you can't bring your horse, or you don't have a horse, join us as an auditor. Bring your chair for a front row seat at the arena, where you will see Harry help the riders solve numerous problems, including many problems you might have yourself!

Whether you have been riding horses for 20 years or 2 months, there is something for you to learn at this year's clinic!  To get the most from the experience, auditors, as well as participants, need to see the process from beginning to end.  Therefore, we recommend auditors commit to a full week at a time.
