If you are a horse lover, you have probably experienced the pain and frustration of finding the perfect horse only to discover later that the two of you are a poor match. This book, Horse Harmony, looks at horses in a whole new way. Just as with humans, these wonderful creatures have different constitutions and personalities that can be defined and evaluated. Using Traditional Chinese Medicine as her model, Dr. Ward has developed 11 basic horse types and temperaments. She describes the personality as well as the best training, occupation, diet, and management approach for each. After experiencing years of frustration with her own poor equine matches and watching hundreds of clients in similar situations, Dr. Ward has dedicated herself to creating a practical approach for finding the best matches between people and horses. Her goal is to empower you to recognize your most fitting equine companion or learn how better to work, live, and play with the horse you already care for. She hopes this will be a significant step toward helping you realize your lifelong equestrian dreams.

Dr. Madalyn Ward, a pioneering voice in the field of holistic horse care for over two decades, breaks new ground with the Horse Harmony equine personality typing system. Her cutting edge casework now extends to helping horse lovers find their perfect equine match or better understand their current equine partner. Dr. Ward graduated from Texas A&M s School of Veterinary Medicine. She has published numerous articles in medical journals and horse magazines, including Practical Horseman and Equus. Dr. Ward maintains a holistic equine practice at Bear Creek Veterinary Clinic in Austin, Texas.
We have a very large cutting horse training and breeding operation, and Dr. Ward s system of personality typing really helps us identify, from an early age, the horses that will truly excel at and enjoy this sport. Personality typing also helps us choose horses appropriate for amateur riders, pro riders, futurities, and our breeding program. --Lyndy Montgomery, NCHA Trainer
The philosophy of dressage is defined as the physical and mental development of the horse. As trainers, judges, and riders we often focus on physical characteristics and do not consider personality traits unless they become a major obstacle. Madalyn s book gives us an organized way to determine a horse s mental capacity and personality so that he is happy in his work and compatible with his human partner. As I read this enjoyable and useful book, I found myself categorizing many horses I have known, especially the "difficult" ones. --Bobbie A. Paulk, Dressage Instructor, Trainer, and "R" Judge
