Over the years, I’ve learned that this work resonates deeply with some people — and less with others — and that is completely okay.
Clarity helps horses, clarity helps humans, and clarity protects the harmony of the learning environment. So here is an honest look at who HHH is designed to serve… and who may not find this approach the right fit.
HHH is for people who truly care — about their horses, their relationship, and their own personal growth.
• You love your horse and genuinely want to do right by them — no matter the breed, age, or discipline.
• You may have a youngster, a rescue, a newly purchased horse, or a long-term partner.
• You want a relationship built on understanding, connection, and respect.
• You feel done with dominance-based, traditional methods — yet you're unsure how to achieve trust and clarity in a kinder way.
• You’re committed to working on yourself as much as with your horse — knowing that great partnership starts within.
• You understand that relationship-building is a personal journey. There are no quick fixes, only deepening awareness and real progress = transformation.
• You prefer addressing the root cause of challenges rather than masking symptoms.
• Your horse’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being matters more to you than competitive results.
HHH is for people who want true partnership, not performance at the expense of connection.
Not every approach fits every person — and that’s okay.
This clarity helps ensure the right horses and humans find their way to this work.
• If you’re looking primarily to improve your riding skills
HHH focuses on the foundations beneath riding: communication, presence, emotional fitness, clarity, and connection.
These create ease, harmony, and confidence in any discipline — but we do not teach technical riding instruction.
• If you want coaching for a specific competitive discipline (dressage, XC, showjumping, etc.)
What we teach is universal — the language beneath every discipline.
Without trust, respect, and partnership, discipline-specific training often becomes frustrating and inconsistent, no matter who you work with.
HHH builds the solid foundation you need so your horse can later be trained for anything… but we do not teach the discipline itself.
• If you tend to look for problems in the horse without exploring your own role
True connection requires honesty, self-reflection, and willingness to grow.
If someone is unwilling to look inward, this work will not resonate.
• If your primary goal is competing
There is nothing wrong with competitions — but if they override the relationship, this approach won’t fit.
At HHH, the partnership always comes first. When the relationship is strong, success follows naturally.
The work we do here at Humans Horses Harmony is for horse lovers who want to build deep, meaningful, lasting partnerships with their horses — partnerships rooted in understanding, emotional clarity, and mutual respect.

And if it’s not your path, that’s perfectly okay too — every journey with horses is unique and we wish you luck with yours.
