Created by Jennie Blakehill, Harmony Equitation combines horse behaviour and natural biomechanics into a horse friendly, ethical training methodology that treats all horses as individuals and allows everyone to develop a deeper understanding of their horse and training practices that prepare the horse thoroughly whilst keeping them sound.

We are excited to be able to bring the Harmony Equitation online course to Horsemanship Hub! This course is an excellent foundation in horsemanship, setting you up to be able to progress your horse into any discipline you choose.

The course is divided into three parts, with no obligation, so you can do one piece at a time, or enroll in all three together for a great discount if you know that this is what you’re looking for!

Part 1: Introducing Harmony

Primarily this course is an introduction to Harmony Equitation. This is a theory only version which is the foundation for all the other courses. You need to complete this one first before starting the others.
