That’s where we come in.
At Humans Honouring Horses, we’re not just about training; we’re about transforming the bond between you and your horse.

The H.E.A.R.T. Method
Horsemanship isn’t just about what you do—it’s about how you show up.
The H.E.A.R.T. Method™ is our signature training framework that rewires how you lead, ride, and connect—so your horse stops bracing and starts listening.

Hold Focus
You can’t lead what you can’t focus on.
We teach you how to claim your space, calm your mind, and direct your energy so your horse knows what you’re asking—without confusion, over-cueing, or chaos.


Establish Intention
Horses read what you mean—not just what you do.
Set a clear, embodied intention that your horse can follow. No yelling. No yanking. Just precise energy and direction they can trust.


Act in Alignment
When intention isn’t enough, your actions must back it up.
Learn how to pair clear cues with congruent body language so your message is felt—not forced.


Respect Boundaries
Good horses know their job. Great riders know when to stop asking.
We teach pressure-and-release done right. That means honoring your horse’s space, energy, and body—while still getting results.


Trust the Rhythm
Horses thrive on rhythm. And so do partnerships.
You’ll learn to ride the line between structure and softness—creating consistency your horse can count on, even under pressure.
This isn’t just training. It’s transformation.
The H.E.A.R.T. Method works in the arena, on the trail, in competition—and in you. Because when you change how you lead, your horse changes how they follow.

“Horses don’t need you to be perfect. They need you to be present.”
– Danette DeBolt, Founder of HHH
Invest in
Your Skills
Because the rider you want to be isn’t out of reach—she’s just waiting for you to say yes.
Every time you show up for your horse, you’re also showing up for your growth. Not the performative kind. The kind that builds feel, timing, trust, and presence.
Investing in your skills isn’t indulgent—it’s foundational. It’s how you honour the rider you’re becoming and the partnership you’re building, step by step.
Discover our video courses, private coaching, and membership options built to meet you where you are—and help you ride with heart.

When I first reached out to Danette, my horse and I were at our wits’ end. Without Danette, I’m not sure if he would still be alive. Her support has been incredibly empowering.”
