Welcome to AT EASE -
A Therapeutic Equine Assisted Self-confidence Experience
A Therapeutic Equine Assisted Self-confidence Experience
 MISSION STATEMENT OUR MISSION is to provide a place where America's veterans - and active military personnel - can interact with each other, be at ease, and build greater self-confidence while developing a partnership with horses using Harmony Horsemanship's 100% natural methods. AT EASE offers America's Veterans - and active military personnel - an opportunity to experience the freedom that comes from connecting with horses. AT EASE has 501c3 status and is also recognized as a Wisconsin Non-profit Organization. FREEDOM STABLES, the home of AT EASE, is located in Deerfield, WI. FREEDOM STABLES is owned by Ted Schlueter, a disabled Viet Nam veteran. The President of the AT EASE Board of Directors is Paulette Stelpflug. She is also the lead instructor for the program. Individuals taking part in the AT EASE program will learn techniques and skills to form a better and safer lifelong partnership with their equine friends. "Hindquarter control" is the foundation of our "Harmony Horsemanship" program, as it provides effective communication with the horse through both its body and mind. No whips, chains or tie-downs are used at FREEDOM STABLES. "Harmony Horsemanship" teaches people to ride with the horse, not just on it. A 5-acre "Play Land" (confidence course) and EQUISOCCERTM are part of the "Harmony Horsemanship" program. In addition, "Harmony Reinsmanship" (cart driving) is a possibility for those individuals who want to work with horses but are physically unable to ride or simply do not wish to do so.
