I'm sure it's not harmony, the letters aren't right for that, there is a letter with a long ascender line near the end of the word.

Hi there, does anyone know the name of the one who made this painting? I believe the text is: Everyday life in rivals and hierarchy. I can not read the signature. Thanx for your answers.

As been previously said, you will need to post the whole picture. There is nothing remotely coming up in various searches.

It's probably not a well-known painting, as there are hundreds and thousands of amateur artists around. As we haven't yet seen the painting, it is impossible to speculate and the title, if it is a quote, doesn't seem to be from any known work.

Looks rather like pastel.
Two hooves aren't much to go on, though.

There's some nice work in that, I can see why you like it. The signature's illegible though and unless there's  a name on the back, I doubt you'll be able to identify the artist.
Is it behind glass? Definitely looks like pastel to me.
