At Harmony Barns, we have two exceptional and unique programs:

 

The Harmony Herd Office—Therapy in Nature offers a peaceful space for somatic therapy to unfold naturally, supported by the harmony herd, the therapist, and the horse guardian.  Sitting under a shady tree, you naturally slow down as you watch the herd go about their day.

​

Connecting with their calm presence and the nature around you, your body feels grounded.  The horses' clear, authentic communication invites you to be present and attuned to your own sensations.

​

Therapy here isn't forced—it's a gentle unfolding of layers, where you begin to feel shifts as emotional tension softens and you explore the experience at your own pace.

There’s no pressure or expectation—just a shared, peaceful experience.  

 

Serving and Understanding Horses the program follows a staged progression, advancing students as they gain confidence and understanding. It begins with learning a horse's basic needs from their perspective, encouraging observation to develop insight. As students progress, they explore horses' worldviews as herd and prey animals, focusing on their senses and subtle nonverbal communication. Emphasis is placed on how humans bring energy, focus, and body language to interactions, highlighting the need for self-awareness and congruence.

​

Once students grasp these concepts, they move on to building connection and handling horses within their comfort zones. The program blends academic structure with hands-on, practical experience guided by an equine specialist. Lessons are personalized, interactive, and dynamic, providing direct involvement in horse care and opportunities for spontaneous learning.
