Copper and Skipper For Sale
Owner Facing Back Surgery
These two grade quarter horses are cameHarmony babies, six months old or less with a history of neglect in a "killer buyer's" holding pen. They stayed with us until they were two years old and were then adopted by Ann Bossman of Conifer, Colorado. She has loved and trained them for the past two years. Here is her urgent message for help: "Serious back surgery forces me to sell to a good and caring home these two wonderful colts originally rescued by Harmony HorseWorks before I purchased them. Price is $450 each or $800 for both. It would be great if they could go as a pair as they have been together since they were 3 months old. SKIPPER is a beautiful black 4 year-old colt, full of desire, spirit and smarts and yet so gentle. He has been saddled and mounted many times, lunged often and he ponies with verbal cues. He is ready to start serious riding training with a patient teacher. COPPER is a sturdy 4 year-old dark sorrel with white blaze and has been ridden 20 times, responding to verbal and leg cues, and training hack cues. He lunges, ponies and is very quiet. He loves to be loved and makes a willing partner. If you are interested, please contact me and my info is below. These are two wonderful geldings and would make great family/trail horses. It breaks my heart to have to part with them! Thank you for caring!" Ann Bossman

THE HARMONY ESCT PULSER PACKAGE
(featured in the March 2007 issue of Horsemen's Yankee Pedlar) $160 FOR THE COMPLETE PACKAGE ESCT BOOK OF HORSE HEALING SECRETS ON CD
ESCT POWER POINT PRESENTATION
HARMONY ESCT PULSER
AND
CARRYING CASE AND INSTRUCTIONS Order on-line at www.harmonyhorseworks.com via PAY PAL using your credit card or send $160 to us at the address below. Allow two weeks delivery.
The Harmony ESCT Pulser can be used alone or with eye movement and body tapping. It allows the rider to address issues of fear and trauma that have been cleared in the horse on the ground while riding, presenting the same stressors or stressful situations. To completely heal the horse, what is experienced as fear on the ground and cleared must also be cleared with the rider up. The pulser allows hands-free adminstration of ESCT while riding. It can also be used to simply relax a horse during groundwork or riding, a horse that is not spooky but simply high-strung. To read all about Equine Stress Control Therapy, the world's first equine psychotherapy based on human bilateral body tapping and bilateral eye movement protocols modified for the horse, go to our web site at www.harmonyhorseworks.com and read all about it. Step up to the next paradigm in equine healing via gentle neural reprocessing of the brain, changing startle to response, run away to stay and play. Harmony HorseWorks is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation registered in the State of Colorado and in good standing. We are a volunteer organization dedicated to rehabilitating and retraining horses to ready them for adoption and to providing sanctuary for those horses who cannot be adopted out, allowing them to live comfortable lives as program horses in our Horse/Human Interactive Therapy (HHIT) programs and PEAT Energy Psychology work in healing fearful riders of their traumas. MAKE ROOM FOR A HORSE IN YOUR HEART!___________________________________________________ SOUTH DAKOTA HORSES NEED HELP! Dear friends of the animals,
The drought has struck South Dakota and the ISPMB horses are
struggling with a lack of water and are almost out of hay. With bales
selling for $60 a bale (!!!), we need a miracle...we can't let these
horses and those who have sacrificed so much for them down. Already
Karen Sussman has limited each horse to one bale of hay per month! No
one saw this drought coming.
Manna is a wonderful thing. It is made of love, it multiplies
infinitely, it is life saving, and it flows freely to those in need. I
urge you to find the price of one bale of hay, or if that would cause
a hardship, enough for 1/2 bale. Would it mean foregoing a dinner out,
a new shirt, an expensive grocery item? Would saving a horse during
this crisis be worth it? Yes! Even if you send one dollar, it can be
the seed money for much more to come from others. We can make a
miracle for Karen and these gentle, beautiful creatures.
Be part of the manna effect. Send your help to Karen Sussman at the
International Society for the Protection of Mustangs and Burros, P. O.
Box 55, Lantry, S.D. 57636-0055. Then send along this urgent plea to
ten people that you know care and could afford to save the horses. For
those of you who don't know Karen, she has headed the ISPMB for decades
taking over responsibilities from Wild Horse Annie who first got the
wild horse protections enacted in Congress. She has recently placed
wild herds with willing groups including several Indian nations, along
with taking several in herself. Recently, she has been up around the
clock bottle feeding three orphan foals.
Let's surprise her in this desperate hour.
NOTE: This message was received at Harmony HorseWorks on April 28, 2007 and the situation may have changed by now. It is up to you to contact Karen Sussman directly for the current status. Thanks for your compassionate interest.
