Harmonized Horsemanship Specializing in the horse & human connection. Using respectful horsemanship, energy and intuitive communication to create soft, willing equine partners!

Offering:
- Gentle and respectful horse training

I create customized training programs that fit the needs/desires/limits of both you and your horse. By evaluating the partnership you have with your horse currently, I create a plan that allows you to see almost immediate results. By combining respectful horsemanship, liberty

horsemanship, and traditional methods, I can help you breakthrough you and your horse's barriers to create a willing and excited athlete ready to do whatever you ask! The programs are designed with your limits and boundaries in mind. If you...
- Don't want to discipline your horse, but want to feel like his leader
- Have a less-than-expressive horse, but want to see him excited for work
- Don't trust your horse, but want to feel confident and comfortable around him..I can help you achieve the results you're looking for!

Virtual training sessions are here! 🤩

I just opened my July schedule for virtual training sessions, and for the first time ever these are available to everyone, even if I've never worked with you in person!

All you need is FaceTime, Pivo Meet or Zoom and I can be there with you in real-time to help you and your horse! ☺️ I have limited availability between now and the end of clinic season, so feel free to book multiple sessions if you want to have consistent sessions.

I'm looking forward to connecting and helping those of you who are far away, or those who cannot haul their horse to me for whatever reason! See you soon on a screen near you! 😉

I miss this. I miss him. I miss the way we felt when we played together and the way it would radiate and spread across whoever was watching.

If you watch this with the sound on, you’ll hear laughs and oos and awws and can feel the magic that this horse created when he was in that body.

Just pure, infectious joy.

I think he created that in me, too. And I’m pretty certain he took a little part of me with him the day he left and I’m still trying to find it again. I know it’s somewhere, and there are moments when I can feel it bubbling up.

Survival mode is a bitch, and it’s an even bigger bitch to get out of. I remember sitting underneath him the day he was scheduled to go to horsey heaven, and I said to him “maybe you leaving will be the thing that finally breaks me open and lets me snap out of survival mode and come back to real life again.”

It was wishful thinking, obviously. Relatively disillusioned. But I remember clutching onto his leg while I sat underneath him just wishing I could sob those body-heaving, soul-cleansing tears I’ve always been able to cry. Yet nothing came then but a few stifled tears and the ever-familiar tightness in my chest.

So many days now, I wish I could to put a halter on him, take him to the arena and run and play until my legs can’t run backwards anymore and I’m breathless and my cheeks hurt from smiling so much. I wish I could collapse into the sand like I used to and let him lay down next to me for a nap in the sunshine. And I wish he’d be here for my wedding at the end of the month, smiling for every picture and playing with me in my dress.

Grief is a weird thing. It’s sometimes heavy and sometimes fleeting. It sometimes creeps up on you and other times disappears altogether for a little bit. And one day soon, I know it’s going to subside and I know the pure, infectious joy we shared together will reappear inside of me.

He’s always here and always Ollie. Always smiling and always shining. 💛🤍✨

Social media is toxic AF sometimes, especially in regards to anything related to the horse world.

I just scrolled for less than a minute and saw so much drama and so many keyboard warriors and was reminded why I don’t f**cking scroll social media anymore lol

So instead, here’s a perfectly peaceful picture of two of my favorite beings becoming good friends. 🩵

Good luck finding ANYTHING to complain about in this photo. It’s literally impossible. They’re perfection 😍

It can be scary to love our horses as much as we do. I spent years "stopping" myself from loving them as fully as I could because I was afraid of the pain that would come when they were no longer here. I loved them of course, but I always felt myself close off at a certain point.

It took me years to get to the place where I could love fully, openly and be vulnerable with them. It wasn't until 2012 when I was facing the probable death of my heart horse due to an injury and chronic lameness, that I decided to love him completely for the first time in my life. I spent a week being completely open, full of love and faced the vulnerability head-on. It changed him, and it changed me. One day before he was going to be put down, he was "magically" healed. He lived happily and healthily for 6 more years.

Today's post is to encourage you to be open. To love fully. To be present. To look at the vulnerability that may come up and choose to sit with it, rather than run away. We may never have enough time with our horses, but now I can truly say that every day I'm with them, I'm loving them as completely and wholely as possible. And that is a gift...for myself and for them.

Go out and today 😉

Creating strong foundations so that young horses can thrive is so rewarding! Softness doesn't start under saddle, it starts right here on the ground. This is 2 year old draft cross Phantom's first time doing side by side walk at liberty and he was a star 🌟 this little one has a bright future ahead of him!

🙏🏼 A Letter to the Patient Horse 🙏🏼

Dear Patient Horse,

I want you to know that I see you. Every day. I see you watching me while I busily run back and forth in front of your pen, sometimes doing chores, sometimes with another horse in hand. I see you look my way when you hear my voice, and then resume your nap as I walk the other way. I want you to know that I see you.

I see you treat me with patience as I work with you for the first time in a week. I see you as you accept my flaws and try your hardest, even when one of my flaws is that I ask for too much. I see you love me for who I am, even when I’m not at my best. I see you give me the grace I don’t deserve, simply because you’re happy that I’m with you. I want you to know that I see you.

I see you through my window watching the house as I wake up in the morning, promising you that today will be the day we do something together. I see you asking me to be accountable. I haven’t been accountable to you, my friend. I know that. Yet you love me anyway. You wait for me at the gate. You greet me with soft eyes and a kiss on the face.

I see you trying every day. I see you loving me. I hope you know how thankful I am for your patience. I hope you know I’m committed to you, even when it seems like I’m not. I hope you know that even when life seems to keep getting in the way, that you’re my horse and I’m your girl. I want you to know that I see you, I ALWAYS see you...even when it seems like I don’t.

✨️ Bit rehab / contact resensitization ✨️

Bits are a pretty hot topic these days 🫣 and whether you choose to ride with a bit, or without, they can actually be very beneficial if used in the right away! 🤯

Did you know that the bit is the best way for us to communicate to and release tension in the hyoid, tongue, poll and TMJ? If used correctly and mindfully the bit can help the horse to find full body relaxation, because everything is connected 😉

Unfortunately most horses are taught contact as a form of control, not necessarily a nuanced form of communication or a way to help them feel better. Because of this many horses learn to brace against contact, or to hide from it entirely. They associate connection with something negative, and then the physical side effects from that way of being start to appear ❤️‍🩹

But working with bits can also look like this, contact can feel this soft, and horses can enjoy wearing a bit in some contexts. I love watching a horse who has negative associations to contact as they start to let go and trust the bit again, and the hand that holds it ❤️
