Core Values we practice daily

---

  Our mission is to transform horseback riding to individuals of all ages, focusing on building confidence and empowering personal growth, while opening new opportunities within the Western lifestyle.

 This company was founded with a strong mission of giving back. Horses are therapeutic, and we have witnessed firsthand how they can change lives. Our goal is to use the experience, the horses, and the western lifestyle to provide opportunities for those who may not have them. We are currently working on several collaborations to help make this vision a reality. 

 Our number one priority is to provide a safe environment for everyone. We take extra steps to ensure riders are fully prepared to ride, interact with the animals, and gain a solid understanding of safety. While we recognize that accidents can happen and there is always some level of risk with live animals, we draw on years of experience and research to ensure that every step is taken safely, all while making sure everyone has fun. 

 Respect for the animals, the land, and the lifestyle as a whole is fundamental to everything we do. We honor the animals by understanding their needs and treating them with care. We value the land by practicing responsible stewardship, ensuring its preservation for future generations. And we embrace the western lifestyle, which teaches us the importance of hard work, integrity, and respect in all aspects of life. This respect is woven into every part of our programs and interactions. 

 While chasing goals is important, horseback riding should also be fun and enjoyable. It's about being present in the moment—whether you're navigating an obstacle course or chasing cows. Embrace the experience, celebrate the journey, and be content with the progress you're making, no matter how big or small. Focusing on enjoyment and growth ensures that every ride is not only productive but also fulfilling. 

 We believe that learning is a continuous journey. We are committed to keeping an open mind, embracing new experiences, and actively seeking opportunities to expand our knowledge. The willingness to learn and adapt is fundamental to personal growth and success. This mindset not only enriches our own journey but also enables us to share valuable insights and inspire others along the way. We strive to embody this value every day, both in our programs and in our lives. 

 When learning something new or navigating life, grit is essential. It's about being resilient no matter what happens—getting back up when you're knocked down and pushing forward when things don't go as planned. That's life! This value is integrated into our programs and applies to life in general. Rodeo and horseback riding are humbling sports that require the willingness to be resilient and full of grit.

Embodying belief is another core value here at Harmon Horsemanship. It's about gaining confidence in yourself, in your horse, in your abilities, and trusting the process. Belief in oneself and the journey is essential for growth and success, both in the arena and in life.
