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.

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.

It`s been so fun watching Kelly and her horses, especially Anthony, who was given to her because of extreme behavior and trust issues. This year, he did his first Prix St George tests.
Below are some words from Kelly.

"Six years ago, I discovered the Dressage Naturally program online. After completing the Sweet Spot program, joining the Video Classroom, and now training with Karen in person, my understanding of horse training, behavior, and progressing through the dressage levels has grown tremendously.
I spent many years training with respected dressage professionals — including a former Olympian, a high-level judge, and a Gold Medalist — then through Karen’s approach, my partnerships with my horses transformed in a way I had never experienced before.
Through her work, my horses and I became deeply connected. From this new level of communication, everything else improved — relaxation, understanding, and performance.
Using the Dressage Naturally principles, I’ve been able to help them— and now help clients horses — with both behavioral challenges and dressage training, always keeping the horse’s experience at the center of the process.
Karen teaches in a way that brings clarity not only to the rider, but to the horse as well. That dual understanding is what truly changes everything.
