| "I trust you with the lives and well being of creatures that mean the world to me, every bit as much as my human family... and if I ever found you screwing up, you'd never get near them again... but in a decade I haven't seen ANYthing lacking, NOTHING less than sterling and meticulous, accurate and professional care. You are not my horses' teacher, nor mine... you are our mentor and we are blessed beyond belief to have you. As long as I have known you, your values and principles come first and you stand behind them, even when it means personal or short term loss. You keep the long view in mind always, and you don't take shortcuts to get there." | ||

| "Maria's gentle, but firm, approach to teaching both humans and horses provides a clear path to perfect harmony in partnership. It is like she is able to speak for my horse so that I can understand what he is trying to tell me... it's amazing what we can accomplish together when I listen to him. Maria has helped to open up my own understanding of how to communicate effectively with my equine partners!" | ||

| Maria worked out a program which built up Tripper's confidence,increased his curiosity and got me riding him safely on the trails. I appreciate that Maria's training sessions can be scheduled so I can watch her work with my horse and then she trains me to work with him. Her quiet confidence in working and communicating with horses is a joy to watch.
If my horse Tripper could give a testimonial it would be: "Horses want to be with Maria. For instance, when she goes to take a horse out of the field for a training session, other horses follow and try to convince Maria to bring them along, too. We look to her for leadership. We appreciate her fairness. We understand what she is asking of us. |

| "Maria has the ability to communicate with horses in their own language. She is a "Natural". I was very happy with the training my horse received and my lessons with Maria. I would still be taking lessons had I not moved so far away." | ||

| "Maria is a wonderful teacher, showing great patience for both horses and humans. I don't have horses of my own, so I took a few lessons from her so that I could become more 'savvy' with horses in my Healing Touch work, mostly for my safety. Maria understands how to instruct a "greenhorn" like me to help me feel like I can learn. Working with Harmony was challenging yet a lot of fun, and both she and Maria taught me more in five sessions than I could have learned from watching a library full of DVD's." | ||
