Karen offers something completely unique & has a vast knowledge of (Beautiful) Dressage & an incredible perspective — always looking at things from the horse’s point of view, and as an individual. Karen has been there for me & my horses all these years later & is still my Number One cheerleader! It’s something I cherish.

Karen Rohlf and D,N are like the missing link for me! Karen’s philosophy and methods have given me a way to advance my horsemanship in a really positive way, without having to sacrifice my relationship with my horses or do things that don’t feel OK to me or my horses, even a tiny bit. The video classroom has given me the opportunity to learn and really understand dressage from someone I respect.
- Eliza Read
Discovering Karen Rohlf and Dressage, Naturally has been a game changer for me and my horse. She weaves together natural horsemanship with a dressage training scale focus like no other. I’m a better equestrian because of Karen! And my horse thanks her!
- Patti Green
As a young girl I dreamt of doing dressage and there always was the feeling of dancing together with the horse. Later I turned away from dressage because the lessons didn’t match that dreamy feeling at all.
Since I met Karen I discovered that the dream can be a reality. My not-so-talented Haflinger gelding got motivated and willing because we are in harmony now.

Why does some information make you feel inspired, and other information makes you feel icky?
Have you ever met someone who can, with seemingly great authority, spout off facts, data points, and of course, all the things that are `incorrect`...
Yet somehow when you are in their presence you end up feeling dumber and more confused... ?
Yeah, me too.
I never want to be 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 person.
I`m interested in delivering information be applied, put to good use, and will help people feel more curious, empowered, and capable.
That doesn`t mean we don`t need to sometimes face hard facts and admit to ourselves that, in the presence of new information, we need to do things differently...
It just means that we need to beware of people who criticize and find fault only for the purpose of their own ego or making others feel inept.
... Especially if they are selling you something.
Our silly human brains are designed to think uber-critical people are smarter.
Did you know there is a thing called the "Cynical Genius Illusion"?
Across multiple tests, researchers found that roughly 70% of people firmly believe that cynical individuals are smarter and more competent.
Yet: Data showed that highly cynical individuals generally perform worse on cognitive ability and academic competency tasks than less cynical, more trusting people.
As comedian Stephen Colbert said: "Cynicism masquerades as wisdom but it is the furthest thing from it".
Maybe it`s a "bad" marketing strategy for me to constantly tell people how much they can do on their own, and how much they can trust their instincts.
Maybe it`s "bad" strategy for selling courses when at clinics I leave students feeling happy, empowered, and like they don`t need me.
But what is bad for marketing is good for the heart. 🤗
And...
𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲.
I don`t want to toy with your emotions.
I just want to help you know how awesome you are and what you can do.

🎤 NEW POD 💥 EP274: Reintroducing the Sweet Spot
Enjoy this short excerpt
For the FULL episode go to: https://dressagenaturally.net/podcast/
Or search for Horse Training In Harmony Episode 273 wherever you listen.
In this episode I reintroduce a previous episode about the Sweet Spot of Healthy Biomechanics concept and protocol because it’s THAT important. It can transform the way you train, and it is an incredibly powerful tool for cooperatively improving your horse’s posture and way of moving. Even if you’ve listened to this before, you’ll hear something new this time. This protocol has stood the test of time and has repeatedly caused breakthroughs with even seasoned professionals. It is so much more than just an exercise. It is a philosophy and a method based on principles that the basics of dressage should feel good to a horse, that precision arrives out of the possibilities that playfulness creates, and that Mental, Emotional, and Physical are all equal doorways to our goal.
