EP273: Reintroducing The Sweet Spot
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.
EP272: ROI
In this episode I talk about paying attention to what you are putting in and what you are getting out of your training sessions. There’s a magic ingredient that can help you get the best return on investment.
EP271: Normal Isn’t
In this episode I talk a bit about how we humans can get into a rut of what is normal and expected, and what can happen when two people have a different opinion of what is normal and expected.
EP270: Brideless
In this episode I talk about why you might want to try bridleless riding, and how to get started.
EP269: It’s HOT!
In this episode I talk about how I do things differently when it’s hot out. It’s all about accepting and adapting.
EP268: Priming Our Attention
In this episode I talk about the importance of knowing what is coming into our attention. It can create a soundtrack for everything we do. Often it is the difference between those yucky days, and the magical days.
EP267: Ask Karen Anything: Tricky Treats
In this episode I answer a question about giving food rewards when the horse becomes obsessed with the food, stops focusing, and gets frustrated.
EP266: Ask Karen Anything: Program Mismatch
In this episode I answer a student’s question about trusting the program she is in when it doesn’t seem to be working for her horse.
EP265: Ask Karen Anything: Fear
In this episode I answer a student’s question about how to handle fear as an older rider – but it really applies to riders of any age.
EP264: Pressure, Deadlines, and Pretending
In this episode I’ll talk about how sometimes pressure, deadlines, and a bit of imagination helps you break your own patterns and discover better results.
EP263: Chickens & Eggs
In this episode I’ll talk about rider balance, horse balance, and how to improve both when each is taking the other out of balance. I’ll also relate this to improving body work and movement dynamics.
EP262: Pressure, Release, Reward
In this episode I talk pressure and release and positive reinforcement in an (hopefully) helpful way, freeing you from the extreme opinions and helping you play where the truth is – in the middle. I also have a big announcement.
EP261: Find Your Way
In this episode I talk about how YOUR way is more important than THE way. The path is only right, if it’s right for you.
EP260: Emotional Freedom Tapping with Sarah Louise Lilley
In this episode I talk about Emotional Freedom Tapping with Sarah Louise Lilley and we are also joined by DN Instructor Shawna Lewis who uses EFT for herself and her horses. I think you’ll find this episode really interesting and useful.
EP259: Accepting Praise
In this episode I share a story about the power of accepting praise and contemplate whether to hold on to, or not, the old measures of success.

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.
