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.
EP258: How to Learn Online
In this episode DN Instructor, Shawna Lewis and I talk about learning in online courses – why so many are disappointing, and what makes it possible to totally transform your riding in an online course. This discussion will help you spend your education money and time more wisely.
EP257: Rehabilitating The Equine Athlete
In this episode I talk about the pillars of rehabilitation I use when helping an equine athlete return to a mentally, emotionally, and physically healthy state. And the good news, is you can use these same pillars to train in a way that avoids the problems in the first place.
EP256: Teaching Priorities
In this episode I reflect on my recent conference with all the DN Instructors, and share one piece about priorities for teaching.
EP255: Using the Happy Athlete Training Scale
In this episode I explain a way to use the HATS to make better progress while prioritizing your horse’s well-being. It’s a short but hopefully very helpful episode that you can put into practice right away.
EP254: When Your Horse Knows Best
In this episode I talk about when my horse makes the best decisions, and how we need to be paying attention and ready to set aside our egos when that happens.
EP253: Exuberance or Trouble?
In this episode I talk about how we should feel about our horse getting ‘big’ when online or at liberty. Will it make it more likely they’ll leap and buck under saddle? Is it OK or not OK to allow it?
EP252: What to Do When You See Mistreatment
In this episode I continue my exploration of what we can do to help horses when they are being mistreated. Helping to improve horse welfare isn’t just about taking action in the worst cases, it is about bringing awareness to the smaller moments in a way that creates change.
EP251: USPC Equine Welfare Task Force
In this episode I am joined by the USPC Equine Welfare Task Force, made up of: Dr Stacy Anderson, Heather Bell, Dr Laura Thompson, Christina Keim. In creating this, they are leading the way for education on equine wellness and will have a huge influence on a new generation of horsemen. This is so important and I’m excited to have these wonderful women on the pod. I think you’ll love hearing about what they’ve created and will be left feeling optimistic.
