What Our Students Have To Share
Challenging Rescue Runaway
"I brought my most challenging horse to the second clinic and by the last day, this former “runaway” and traumatized rescue horse was cantering around with her neck stretched down at peace, with no bridle on and all I had around her neck was a little rope. I knew anything was possible with this foundation and knowledge." Mary Elena
From Nerves to Trust
About 3 years ago a rescue landed in my lap… I became nervous to be around him and handle him…I had the privilege of meeting a woman, Melissa Ellis, who was an instructor in Harmony Horsemanship. What a game changer…. Apollo and I now have a better understanding of one another...I never would have done any of this a year ago. I am excited to see what he is ready to do next." Sara Stout
Finding the Calm Connection
"After searching and trying different solutions for help with my very tense and reactive mare, I found Harmony Horsemanship. Finally a program that helped me help my horse to find calm. And that was only the beginning - once we found that calm connection together, we were successful and it was fun teaching/learning other skills together, and building confidence" Jan Jennings
