Being a good mentor is the highest of achievements any of us can hope for. It's like the Nobel Prize of Horsemanship. What is our life's work worth if we can't pass our knowledge on to successive generations? Being a good mentor is the most important thing we can ever do for making the lives of horses better.
Being Mentored By Harry Whitney
Harry has mentored many who are now professional horse people - Josh Nichol, Shea Stewart, Julie Carpenter, Simone Carlson, Libby Lyman, Anna Bonnage, Ty Haas - to name a few that I know personally. I hope Harry is proud of his contribution. He should be. And I hope each of us who has gained from his knowledge does just as good a job for our students.
