Why use Harmony Horsemanship™

  • It’s the 8 to 80 program – you can be 8 years old or 80 years old and Harmony Horsemanship™ can work because it’s not based on intimidation, force, strength, or agility. It’s based on understanding, horse psychology, and communication.
  • Harmony Horsemanship™ is SAFE:
    • Simple – we break down all of the concepts, exercises, and information into well thought out bite size chunks. We’ve tested our programs with thousands of students and make changes based on your feedback.
    • Achievable – don’t take our word for it. We have hundreds of testimonials from students in our programs, people just like you that are having unimaginable success with their horse with the help of Harmony Horsemanship™
    • Friendly – we focus on helping the horse to love learning and become a “yes horse.” This makes the whole process of teaching new things to your horse so much easier, faster, safer, and enjoyable.
    • Effective – our program has been used with off the track Thoroughbreds (and produced several champion/reserve champions at the International RRP Thoroughbred Makeover), mustangs (and produced several champion/reserve champions at Mustang Training Challenges), with rescue, and second chances horses that other trainers have given up on.
  • Because we use the SAFE techniques, horses aren’t pushed to a place of feeling trapped and overwhelmed which makes being with them so much safer.
  • When we learn to understand ourselves, our horses, and the language that connects us we can have a trusting, respectful, confident, and enjoyable partnership to enjoy in any discipline.

"I’ve learned to work with horses by observing herd dynamics, watching many clinicians, and pulling individual things I liked from various trainers. I never felt like my methods fit a particular “style” until I found Harmony Horsemanship. It finally gave me a place where everything suddenly connected and made sense in a way I could explain to others. I’ve never seen such an easy no-gimmick way for truly connecting with your horse that anyone can do. Thank you Harmony Horsemanship!"

"HH, has opened my eyes to the rewards I receive from my horses when we use possitive reinforcement. I can remember Lindsay saying I was a cheap date before I started using the treat for them making an effort I wanted. I also love how it calms them when they get worried. And NO it doesn't make them pushy or bite when you do it correctly." ??????

"When we picked Roper up this spring we knew he was a fearful loader but it still took two hours to get him on the trailer and he was soaked in sweat and shaking. We resolved to change his fear behavior and worked with Melissa using Harmony Horsemanship to change how we asked and take a deeper look at what he was doing. By the end of the summer I'm proud to announce that Roper not only takes seconds to load but is actually seeming to enjoy his trailer rides!"

"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. Just one month after starting the Harmony Horsemanship program Annie and I were off camping - she was a super star - not one spook. Today we enjoy trail riding, obstacle challenges, camping - I am so glad I found Harmony Horsemanship."

"I find the HH very helpful, even on a very low level, because I can improve my little Morgan's willingness to match my pace in leading, or respond to a light rein, or go with a simple bridle. It gives me a better relationship with my mare, thanks to brief lessons with Melissa. I'm hoping for a few more; Jasmine loves doing the obstacles and it improves my confidence a lot, even in old age."
