One of our AT EASE supporters came across this box of "35 games and stunts" - copyright March 1943 by Reginald S. Leister & the National Association Service of Toledo, OH - at a local gun show and thought we might find a use for it. We sure can! Let the games begin! | 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 is recognized as a Wisconsin Non-profit Organization and is located at FREEDOM STABLES - home of HARMONY HORSEMANSHIP LLC - in Deerfield, WI. FREEDOM STABLES is owned by Ted Schluter, a disabled Viet Nam veteran. HARMONY HORSEMANSHIP LLC, is owned and operated by Ted Schluter and Paulette Stelpflug. 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 the 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 an option for those individuals who want to work with horses but are physically unable to to ride or simply do not wish to do so.
