Modern Training
Doesn’t Deal With Tension
Traditional methods have traded the mental and emotional side of training for more pressure and harsh gear to silence the horse. The “push through it” mindset just makes things worse.
Without a proper foundation, you end up with:
- A spooky, unpredictable horse that shatters trust
- Quick fixes that fail when things get real
- An anxious horse that can't calm itself
You don’t need a different horse. You don’t need stronger aids. You need a clearer foundation that helps your horse feel better in their body and mind so real progress becomes possible.
Chances are you’ve already tried
It looks easy — but when you try it, nothing clicks.
You’re still guessing. Your horse is still confused.
But the problems follow you.
Different setup. Same frustration.
But no one’s shown you *how* to build balance, biomechanics, or real partnership in motion.
You’re still stuck.
You Don’t Have a Problem Horse
Most traditional methods focus on control, leg pressure, and obedience — while forgetting to teach calmness and connection all together. That leaves you with tense, unsure rides and no tools beyond pressure.
Stop blaming your horse or yourself. The missing piece? Connection starts on the ground.
The Hidden Cost of an Unbalanced Horse
An unbalanced horse isn’t just frustrating — it’s harmful.
Work In Hand Changes The Cycle
When you teach balance from the ground first, the horse learns to carry weight correctly, engage the hind end, soften the neck and move with stability. Balance creates confidence. Confidence creates progress.
Harmony In Hand
The foundation that transforms every horse.
Feel safe. Move at your own pace. No arena needed — just you and your horse.
Harmony In Hand is a step-by-step program teaching the foundation of work in hand. Build your horse’s balance, confidence, and calmness through clear, kind groundwork.
Instead of just managing tension, spooks, or slow progress, you’ll address the root causes so your horse can relax, move better, and perform at their best.
This is the groundwork that supports every goal, from calmer rides, to consistent performance, to stepping up to higher-level work.
How it works.
→ Simple, structured lessons you can follow in order so you always know what to focus on next
→ Full access to the course on your phone or computer so you can learn around your schedule

“Breaking things down into the smallest parts makes all the difference”
You need to be able to break it down into the smallest parts, which is one of Megan’s many strengths. The sessions with Megan have a huge impact on different parts of my work.
-Anneli E.
Meet Your Instructor: Megan Sorentino
I used to be told that if a horse was spooky, tense, or not progressing, you just had to manage it or accept their limits.
But I believed there was a kinder, more effective way.
Through classical horsemanship and in-hand foundation work, I discovered how deeply a horse’s balance and confidence shape their behavior and performance.
Now, I help riders develop calmer, more balanced horses so they can progress without force or frustration.
Let Megan show you inside the program↴
