The online Horse Harmony tests for people and horses are finally live and the response to these tests has been wonderful. I am so pleased people are finding these tests valuable. The feedback, questions, and comments have been great. I have taken the test many times and have some suggestions on how to get the most accurate results from these tests for you and your horse.
- Fill out only the questions you are sure of and leave the others blank.
- If a question concerns a season or certain type of weather making your horse worse, the word “worse” refers to your horse’s physical condition. For example, many horses are spookier in cold or wind, but this does not necessarily mean a horse is “worse” in windy conditions. If, however, your horse becomes lame or his lameness gets worse in cold or windy weather, then your horse would be considered “worse.”
- If you feel you are less than subjective about your own horse, you may want to have someone who doesn’t have an emotional attachment to your horse, such as a trainer, help you answer the questions.
- If you are not familiar with the Five-Element typing system and the questions don’t seem make sense then read the “Horse Harmony” book and see if the questions have more meaning after you have a basic understanding of the types. Buy the book online at http://www.horseharmony.com/buy.html.
- If your horse scores high in two types that are not a listed combination (for instance, Wood and Water) then focus on the type with the highest score and look for the next highest score that does fit one of the combinations listed in the book. For example, when I took the people test I scored highest in Water and then Metal. Water/Metal do not form a typical combination so I looked at my next highest score, which was Fire, and the Water/Fire (Tai Yang) type was a good fit.
I hope these comments help you better understand the questions in the tests and gain more accurate results. As always, you can take the tests at no charge here:
