| Horsemanship Camps ~ Arizona |
|
| Seeing Harry in Arizona has certain advantages. So, why travel some distance to see Harry there? One is that the weather is a lot better than most of the rest of the country at the time of year he's there. Clinics are not happening in much of the country because of that, so stretchting the clinic season by going south is one big thing. The landscape and remote setting of Harry's place is absolutely incredible. If that wasn't enough, it borders a zillion acres of open BLM land to ride around on (literally...out his gate and you're there)--it's awesome desert with those classic seguaro cacti. There are RV hookups for folks' trailers, so that's an option many might enjoy. - Tom Moates |

I am so blessed to have found Harry and discovered for my horses' sake the Harry way! After having spent three weeks with Harry over the course of three years, I started to look around at other trainers and discovered that what he teaches is not just "natural horsemanship." It's learning a way around gimmicks and fast solutions and really being there for my horses in a way that means something to the horses. Harry Whitney is not just a good trainer but also a great teacher. Now my outlook on being with a horse is as enjoyable as I had dreamed it would be as a child. |

In June 2005 I hauled my eight year old Morgan gelding from Vermont to Tennessee for a week long adult learning camp with Harry Whitney. What a great opportunity: living there, learning there, having my horse and a bunch of horsey friends for company and support. Read a comprehensive clinic report from this student... |
| Bible Horsemanship Camps |
Harry & Pastor Ronnie Moyer join together in the Bible Horsemanship camps to present truths and principles that will give you a better understanding of the inside of your horse and the inside of yourself from the teachings in God’s Word. Whether you have been a Christian for many years or are actively seeking out a place to learn about who Jesus is and what He has done for you, you will walk away from these camps with a deeper understanding of God, your horse and your relationship to both. - Kim Bolewine |
When I first met Harry Whitney in '99, I was in awe of the relationship he had with his own horse. He and his horse looked like one. He was very humble in his teachings and authentic in his word. I knew he was someone I wanted to learn from. He has not only helped me deepen my relationship with my own horses, but has taught me how to be a better person, a better student, and a better teacher in this horsemanship journey. I've watched Harry work with a broad spectrum of horses and students from the upper levels of dressage to the brand new beginner just trying to sort it all out and have seen remarkable changes in both. I've seen a lot of clinicians in my life time and feel that Harry is one of a kind when it comes to bringing a deeper meaning into our horsemanship. He helps students find their own way while keeping the best interest of the horse in mind. I've never met anyone who can get into a horse's mind, body, and spirit like Harry does, and be able to present this knowledge in a way that builds confidence in his students. He is a true master of his art. - 
I went to my first "Harry" clinic about 9 years ago. My longing was to get along better with my horses. I am a professional hoof care provider and an amatuer rider. The lessons that I have learned from Harry keep me safer in my profession and allow me to give my clients ( the horses) the best possible experience. My personal riding horses ( and I have many!) have benefitted in every aspect of our relationship. Harry has taught me to be more aware of little details that most of us overlook and this has transformed the meaning of straightness, collection and availability that many riders are searching for. When you come to a "Harry" clinic you will be exposed to a man who has a unique ability to help a horse feel better within himself and do his best at whatever his job he is performing. Harry is inspiring to watch and one of the best teachers I have had the privledge to know. My horses and myself "thank you" Harry. 
I've been attending Harry Whitney clinics in Minnesota for the past 8 years. Each year Harry has inspired me (about horses & life) in ways that are simple yet complex, and with understanding that follows me for the entire year. The summer of 2010 was especially marvelous as Harry helped me with the first rides on my good black mare. Nothing is more sensational than those first rides, and to have the help, guidance and support of Harry (et al) made it the most memorable clinic ever (so far!). The moon was full every night, the fireflies lit the fields with glitter, there was a torrential storm that blew down my panels but my mare never left, Tom Moates offered a poetic touch, and Harry was in fine form. Really, every clinic has been terrific and Harry has been a solid and honest teacher, always speakingor the horse, and always full of hope that his work will make life better for the horses. Thanks to Harry and our clinc host Suzy for all their hard work! - Miriam Tell
