Finally! She’s back!!
Facility: Loch Moy in Adamstown, MD. Rider spots are full but go here to get your auditing tickets.
Dates: May 21, 22, 23
Housing for auditors available first come first serve at a location about half an hour away from the venue, $25/night/person. Contact me about it if you’re interested.
Welcome! The clinic is now full, but if you want to get onto the waiting list to ride, please get in touch.
Auditors: Please bring your own chair.
Mary will be wearing a mic so auditors and riders can hear her. Please save questions for the discussion period of the day (after lunch).
Audio or video taping of lessons is prohibited, unless it is at the rider's request, for the rider's personal use.
**Attendance all 3 days is highly recommended by Mary due to the nature of the specific language developed between coach and rider as the clinic progresses.**
Auditors, please bring your own chair. We will be indoors, but will not have enough chairs for everyone.
Clinic schedule for all 3 days:
9am - lesson 1 (two riders)
10am - lesson 2 (two riders)
11am - lesson 3 (two riders)
Noon - Lunch in the lounge
1pm - Q&A / Discussion in the lounge
2pm - lesson 4 (two riders)
3pm - lesson 5 (two riders)
4pm - lesson 6 (two riders)
Each rider will ride three times, one ride each day, for a total of 3 lessons. This means auditors can watch the progress of each rider over the course of the 3 days, which can be quite a profound experience due to the rider’s being able to sleep on the lesson (and perhaps insights from the Q&A), and come back ready to build on their learning the next day.
After lunch each day Mary will lead the Q&A/discussion, which will be held in the Loch Moy guest house. Auditors and riders are encouraged to ask questions and participate in un-mounted exercises led by Mary.
Lunch is provided all 3 days of the clinic to all riders and auditors: soda/water/hot drinks, two or three entree choices with vegetable on the side and a dessert. Throughout the day coffee and light refreshments will be available. Please let me (Emily) know if you have any food allergy/preference.
The second night of the clinic we always invite everyone attending the clinic to join us for dinner with Mary, usually at a local restaurant.
Another Update! August 18, 2021
We are now focusing on bringing Mary back in the Spring of next year (please cross fingers, everyone).
I don’t know any details yet, especially not DATES, but hopefully will find out by late winter 2022.
Stay tuned.

It is with a heavy heart that I postpone the May 2020 Mary Wanless Clinic, but we have no choice, and it’s in everyone’s best interest to stay safe and not spread germs around.
Having spoken with Mary Wanless, I decided it’s best to forego trying to plan a Fall 2020 clinic, and just assume the dust will have settled by May 2021 enough that we will all be back to riding and traveling and all the things we wish we could be doing right now.
I know many of you were looking forward to riding with Mary, as was I. If you’re interested in learning more about Ride With Your Mind, I’m an accredited coach in her system and (once we are cleared to ride and travel) would be happy to either come to you or have you come to one of the locations where I teach on school horses - just see my other pages for more details.
Wishing you all a healthy 2020 and beyond. Stay safe out there.
Emily
