Courtney Bates

Owner, Equine Energy Therapist

Courtney knew horses were her destiny the day she met Ladybird. Courtney was 8 years old in Bryce Canyon Utah. Funny enough, Ladybird was a donkey. Courtney has since devoted her entire life to trying to understand her equine friends. Her mother always says, "Courtney never met a horse she didn't like." For Courtney it's not about liking as much as it's about listening. Every horse has a story to tell. She finally realized it was her "calling" to listen, respect and heal when needed. Horses in Harmony LLC at Synergy Stables supports her passion for horses, holistic living and healing. She has taken the opportunity to give back all those wonderful lessons so many mentors have given her.

"I give to you; Horses in Harmony Riding Academy at Synergy Stables, a personal dream come true. Thank you to everyone who helped me get here."
