Nov 2022 Mary Wanless Clinic


  • Clover Luck Stables 4713 Manor Ln Ellicott City, MD 21042 United States (map)

Join us for another round of 3 days of immersion in the world of rider biomechanics!

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, blanket and water bottle. 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

1pm - Q&A / Discussion with auditors and riders

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. 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: water/hot drinks, an entree with a 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.

For this clinic, there will be mostly adults riding, and one teenager. Contact emily@heartofriding.com to find out if there are any riding spots left - a deposit of $300 is required to reserve a spot.

The full ride fee is $685, due by Nov 8.

Audit fee: $50/day - please use the GET YOUR AUDITOR TICKETS HERE button so I can plan for how much food to provide each day, even if you are paying cash at the door.

Please email emily@heartofriding.com with any questions.
