Harmonized Horsemanship

In a world that's divided, lost, violent and at odds, it's easy to feel crushed underneath the weight of it all.

People don't agree. Everyone yells at each other, staunchly defending their ideas and beliefs. With no wiggle room. No yielding. No compromise. No listening.

"We are right, and you are wrong."

It's soul-crushing.

I spend a lot of my time hiding out here on the top of my little hill in the plains and ignoring the current state of the world. I've committed to impacting the world in a positive way in the only way I know how: by healing horses and helping people.

I wish I could reach more people. I wish I could teach them the things we do here to help them find more peace within themselves. I wish I could change the world.

I wish I could put everyone in front of a horse and help them find some common ground with an animal who thinks differently than them, feels differently than them, and acts differently than them.

I wish I could give everyone access to the peace you find when you sit quietly and breathe. When you feel the ground beneath your feet and listen to a horse exhale slowly.

I wish I could let a horse heal the souls of all the troubled humans who choose violence, opposition and aggression.

And so for all of you who feel crushed under the weight of the world we live in, or to those who just don't know what to do with it all:

Keep changing your own little world. Find ways to consistently fill your own cup so you can help top off the cups of others when they start to get low.

Maybe, just maybe, one little ripple of magic at a time, we can all find our way back on track.

The world may feel divided and loud, but out here on my little hill, there is quiet. There are horses. There is peace. And if your cup ever feels empty, you’re welcome here. 💛

We LOVE what Shannon does for the horses in our program 😍

I know how heavy it can feel to have a horse who’s always on edge. I grew up with my heart horse, Eli, in a constant state of tension, stress and unease.

The constant spooks. The tension in his body. That feeling like I was always waiting for the next explosion.

It can be exhausting. And lonely. And sometimes it feels like no matter what you do, nothing helps them truly settle.

Trainers tell you to chase in circles, to punish them for spooking, to control their feet relentlessly. But it doesn't help and it doesn't feel good...to either of you.

That’s why I created From Tension to Trust, a 12-week coaching program for horse owners with anxious, spooky, or tense horses.

This program is about helping you and your horse breathe again. ✨
It’s about building a baseline of calm, at rest and in movement, so you don’t have to live in that cycle of stress anymore.

Over 12 weeks, you’ll:
🌿 Learn to see the signs of tension before they escalate
🌿 Create daily rituals that bring softness and connection
🌿 Guide your horse back from spooks or anxiety without force, dominance or aggression
🌿 Build a repeatable system of calm you can use anywhere

And at the end of those 12 weeks?
You won’t just have a more relaxed horse.
You’ll have a relationship rooted in trust, presence, and peace. 💛

Enrollment is limited to 10 participants for this first round. Applications are open now, and spaces are filling quickly!

In a quiet moment of stillness you can choose one of two things:

You can choose to let your mind run. You can choose to fill the stillness with busyness and chaos. You can make a mental to-do list and plan the next 4 hours, 4 years, 4 decades of your life.

Or you can choose to stop for just a moment and breathe. You can choose to ground yourself into a physical sensation of touch, of smell, of breath or sight. You can rest your hand upon a horse's cheek and soak in the vastness of his existence and feel the weight of the connection pulling on your soul in a way only a horse can.

Your mind will try to pull you towards option 1 because there's less at stake there. There's less vulnerability, less feeling, less presence. It's more familiar. Easy.

The horse will try to pull you towards option 2 because that is where he exists. In a space full of vulnerability, love, presence and peace. Once you're there, though, it will also feel familiar. Easy.

Every moment of the day is a chance to choose between those two options.
Every moment is a chance to soak in love, presence, pause and peace.

And in a life where we never truly know which moment will be our last...

Choose wisely. 🫶🏻

✨ From Tension to Trust: A New 12-Week Coaching Program ✨

If you’ve ever felt your horse’s anxiety take over (spooking, bracing, walking on eggshells, bolting, etc.), you know how exhausting it can be.

But here’s the truth: your horse doesn’t want to live in that tension. And you don’t have to stay stuck in it either!

That’s why I created From Tension to Trust, a 12-week coaching program for horse owners with anxious, spooky, or tense horses. Together, we’ll guide both you and your horse into softness, calm, and connection.

In this mentorship, you’ll learn to:
🌿 Recognize tension before it escalates
🌿 Keep your horse below threshold
🌿 Guide them into relaxation at rest and in movement
🌿 Build a repeatable ritual of calm you can take anywhere

Most of all, you’ll begin to feel what it’s like to stand beside your horse in true trust and peace. 🫶🏻

Enrollment is limited to 10 participants for this first round. Applications close 9/29/25.

Behavioral Consultations 🐴💡

Some challenges take more than a quick lesson to unpack. That’s why we offer behavioral consultations. Truly dedicated time to really listen, observe, and understand what your horse is trying to communicate.

This isn’t about drilling or forcing. It’s about slowing down enough to notice the patterns beneath the behavior. Whether you're dealing with anxiety (for yourself or your horse), pushiness, lack of engagement, too much tension, problems tacking, etc., we can find a way forward that feels safe for BOTH of you.

During a consult, we’ll:
👉🏻 Look at the bigger picture (environment, history, triggers)
👉🏻 Work hands-on with your horse to test what helps them relax
👉🏻 Create a clear, practical plan you can keep building on at home

Sessions are $175 and last between 1.5-2 hours, with limited availability on select weekdays and weekends. We will be offering a few of these per month, so reach out if you want to get one booked!

👉🏻 We don't start horses under saddle in 30-60 days. For us, it's not about how fast we can get on their back.

It’s about how much you listen...
How much you pause to allow them to process, to digest, to LEARN...
How much you let them find safety in allowing another being to sit on their body...

👉🏻 We don't care how long it takes.

We care that it's done correctly. So that you have a horse for years to come that is solid, happy, and excited to do their job. One who lines up and offers themselves and says, "Come join me." One with soft ears, kind eyes, and relaxed muscles. One whose nervous system is balanced and regulated.

One who was actually PREPARED for the responsibility of carrying a human on their back.

That’s what we care about.
Not a horse that just tolerates being ridden.
But a horse that ✨ wants ✨ to carry a human.

This is the part of horse training that can’t be rushed. The soft steps. The listening. The conversation. That’s what creates a riding partner who feels safe, willing, and happy to share the journey with you.

Because it’s not just about making a horse “rideable.” It’s about making the ride something they want to be a part of.

✨ Slow is smooth. Smooth is kind. And kindness creates forever partners.
