Rick Harrison – Trainer
Rick Harrison and horses began their life together from an early age. A ten year old Rick spent his holidays helping out with the horses at his Uncle, Terry Harrison’s spelling property, PInecrest Park.
Five years later, Rick started his apprenticeship as a jockey for Jack Jury who was a leading jumps traier of his time. He soon grew too large to make race riding his career (today he stands at 6 foot tall) and changed his career path, going to work with John Allen for a number of years then Mick Kent where he stayed for a period of two years before Mick left to run his operation in Singapore.

Trainers license and RWH Thoroughbreds evolved in 1999
In 1999 Rick obtained his trainers license and RWH Thoroughbreds evolved with today providing a full service stable, from breaking, pre-training, to training and rehabilitation. Rick’s uncanny ability to bring an old horse back to form is a reflection of his horsemanship and love of the thoroughbred. He has gathered a reputation for resurrecting the racing careers of tired horses. Rick has taken his good grounding and together with Jo, has carried his experience forward to his operation today.
Rick’s excellent rapport with fellow trainers and attention to detail is only supported by his commitment to maintain a maximum level of horses in his care at a given time. He has experienced success in all areas from breaking in group one winners, to Olympic level performance horses and in recent times enjoying his excellent achievements with racing his horses.
Rick and Jo look forward to a lifetime together doing what they love.
