Finding Happiness for Both Horse and Rider: Harmonious Training Without Misunderstandings

In 25 Ways to Make Your Horse Happy, expert trainer Anne Krüger-Degener presents a transformative guide to building or restoring the bond between horse and human. Grounded in compassion, this book offers a systematic approach to a clear and unambiguous communication.

Through inspirational case studies, Krüger-Degener outlines her groundbreaking HarmoniLogie(R) communication system and offers a practical guide to foster happiness in both horse and human. Stop ＂talking past＂ your horse and instead prioritize compromise. Inside, you’ll learn to:

-Analyze spatial changes and movement cues
-Work with activation and defense zones
-Recognize geometric patterns in communication
-Resist the urge to speak ＂gibberish＂
-Translate groundwork trust into saddle performance
-Create training intervals that accommodate natural performance curves
-And much more!

With sensible advice that still puts the horse first, above all, Krüger-Degener’s fundamental keys to making your horse happy are integral pieces to modern-day training and competing, ensuring progress not only as performers, whatever your sport, but as partners in life.

Anne Krüger-Degener has studied how a wide variety of species communicate and the natural laws of language for almost 40 years. The latter, she has determined, are cross-species and based on repeated mechanisms. With this knowledge, she has developed a loving and fair approach to working with all animals based on communicative basics, conceptual training, and a systematic approach, following natural learning patterns. It is this easy system, which she calls HarmoniLogie(R), that she teaches to people, horses, and dogs at her school based on her farm in Melle, Germany. She and her students are also known for their remarkable dressage and liberty performances (anne-krueger-degener.com).
