​YOU CAN ALWAYS LEARN SOMETHING NEW​...

Ken  Whelihan is a USEF judge, Grand Prix veteran and a popular teacher and  clinician. His accomplishments include producing Zone 1 USEF two time  horse of the year “Tanglewood”, qualifying and competing in 1992 Olympic  Selection Trials for Barcelona, and producing dozens of Grand Prix  level horses.

Ken  began his professional career by riding for the late Barney Ward.  McLain’s dad was out in front of the then new trend of importing  European Showjumpers. He then went on to work for the Lenehan family and  world record holder Anthony D’Ambrosio jr. He spent much of his career  in Connecticut as a professional at Peter Leone’s Lionshare farm and at  the Ox Ridge Hunt Club. He has a systematic approach to bringing along  horses with patience and flexibility to make allowances for colder or  hotter temperaments. His teaching evolves from years spent receiving  guidance from legends including George Morris, Anne Kursinski, Leslie  Howard and Peter Leone.
