The horse world has always been a little different.

Long before “chosen family” became a phrase, barns were quietly creating it.

For generations, they have been places where the kid who felt out of place found belonging. Where differences mattered a little less. Where hard work mattered a little more. Where people from different backgrounds, identities, and walks of life found themselves in the same barn aisle, united by a love for horses.

The truth is, horses have never cared who you love, who you are, what you look like, or whether you fit neatly into someone else’s expectations of who you should be.

They ask only that you show up. Be honest. Be kind. And keep learning.

This Pride Month, we’re celebrating the riders, trainers, breeders, grooms, owners, and horse lovers who make our community richer simply by being themselves.

And we’re grateful for every barn that has been a safe place, a fresh start, a refuge, or a home when someone needed one most.

Happy Pride Month, friends. 🌈🤍

May we continue building a horse world where everyone has a place on the rail.

Harmony’s Show Team JUMPED right into May with the BREA event May 3rd. Members of our Show Team were thrilled to show off all the hard work they put in this winter. All the learning certainly paid off!

Ellie and Aria debuted their new partnership with a 3rd in Tadpoles CT, really shining in their dressage test. Britt and Imp tackled the Starter HT finishing in 3rd place. Mallory and Aria dusted off the show ring cobwebs with style by bringing home 1st place in the Green CT, helping them prep for the Greener Than Grass HT at War Horse. Jaiden and Zoey got back into jumping this weekend and really rocked it out in the Starter CT coming home with 1st place! Then danced in the sandbox bringing home 1st in Training 3, and 4th in their debut of First 1. After a one year hiatus from showing so Leighla could recover from health problems, Gracie and Leighla stepped back into the show ring with grace and confidence. Putting in one of their best jump rounds ever and finishing in 2nd place at the Beginner Novice CT and 2nd in their Training 3 test. Julyanna and Woodstock moved up to the Green division finishing 2nd in their CT and 4th in their Training 1 test. Ashley and Venus brought home 1st place in the Beginner Novice CT, practicing their newfound calmness and relaxation in front of judges and prepping for the show ring before heading to War Horse at the Novice level. Huge success for Birte's and Minka's first show of the season. Taking first place in their dressage test by putting in a technically accurate test with greatly improved balance and confidence. Ashley also compete Lucy at First 3, bringing home 2nd place. Elizabeth and Schatzi really strutted their stuff. After competing the previous weekend at their fist sanctioned Working Equitation competition where they finished in 6th place on Saturday and Reserve Champion on Sunday, they stepped up a level in the sandbox and debuted their skils at First 1, 2, and 3, bringing home first place in all three tests!

All this success in the show ring would not be possible without all the “behind the scenes” support and work from so many people. Harmony’s Show Team would like to thank all the parents and family members that get their students to and from the barn week after week so riders can get in the practice required for success and horses get the attention they need to be ready to step into the show ring. Thank you to all the Team Members, family members, and friends that put in extra hours the day before the show to finalize all the showing prep as well as the LONG day at the show. Your help in making sure horses and humans are fueled and hydrated, boots are polished, riders are on in plenty of time to warm up, riders and horses are at the in-gate on time, and cheering everyone on at the rail is invaluable! A special thank you to Harmony’s Operations Manager, Mallory, making sure that Team Members are ready to take care of the horses at home and to Mike Webb for graciously transporting the Gator to and from GHPEC so Stacey had a means of getting around to coach.
