Harry has been featured in Equus Magazine, The Whole Horse Journal, and other publications.
Harry Whitney clinics enjoy the enthusiastic recommendation of a wide variety of breeding farms
and professionals in the horse industry, including people involved in cutters, reiners, Paso Finos,
Peruvians, Icelandic Horses, Foxtrotters, Arabians, Quarter Horses, endurance, dressage, and High School
and therapeutic riding. Tom Moates has written
several books featuring Harry's methods. "So
often, we focus on what the horse is doing, and miss
the fact that the horse's mind will affect what he
does and how he does it. If we give attention to the
horse - how he is feeling in the moment, where his
thought is and offer him the help he is looking for
-many of the things we thought were problems will be
cleared up." Harry Whitney
Below are several Harry Whitney reports in word documents.

Horse Person/ality Assessment
People and their horses are in a relationship just as surely as couples are.
People and horses have personality traits, history/experiences, and training/knowledge
which affect their relationship. Horse Person/ality Assessment,
developed by Peggy Martin, uses personality psychology adapted for horses
to evaluate the "match" of you and your horse or a prospective horse.
Increase the quality of your relationship with your
horse by knowing more about the factors which shape
your interaction. Increase the likelihood of an
enjoyable, safe, fun partnership by selecting a
horse suited to your personality. Contact Peggy for
