Harmony Horseman

Harmony Horseman Matea Babcock is here to help you navigate your horsemanship journey with clinics in both Texas and NE Kansas.

From liberty and bridleless riding to beginner cattle working clinics, you'll find the support you need with a foundation first approach. Whether you book an event or schedule private lessons with Harmony Horseman, our certified instructors customize your lesson plans in natural horsemanship and rider biometrics to fit your skill level. Unlike traditional equestrian training programs, our natural

horsemanship approach teaches the rider to cultivate his relationship with—not merely his authority over—the horse. The natural horsemanship approach teaches you how both to analyze horse behavior and to cultivate skills in creative problem-solving. Rather than focusing primarily on the horse, our rider biomechanics embraces the idea that harmony results only when the rider has trained his body to engage the horse’s unique movement. Only then can the rider channel their combined physical forces into unified motion. Just as the horse develops the strength and flexibility to carry his rider in consistent engagement, the rider must also develop skills that condition his body—and guide his horse toward harmonic engagement. We design every training program with the destination you desire in mind. Roadmaps don’t leave the journey to chance, and neither do we. Let our experts guide you as you ride the path to harmony with your horse.
