ABOUT ME
Hello! My name is Whitney Widick and Horses Helping People is my passion! Since the age of five, I have had the privilege of braiding manes and cleaning hooves. Now I am blessed with the opportunity to serve the local communities with the help of some great four-legged teachers.
For 25 years, I have had the privilege of being involved in the local equine industry. Dabbling in all of the different kinds of sports that involve horses - from jumping to barrel racing, to western pleasure and showmanship. I am a "jack of all trades and a master of none". I graduated from Parkland College with an Associates in Agribusiness, specializing in Equine Management. Accompanying my degree, I have an extensive background in general equine/livestock animal science, animal nutrition, agricultural education, and psychology. As a continuing student in all aspects of how horses can make an impact on lives, I am constantly searching for new ways to develop confidence, strength, knowledge, skill, and excitement in my students. The relationship of human psychology and physiology to that of the horse fascinates me and I will continue to expand my knowledge base to better my current and future students.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat”
