In this episode of Horse Training In Harmony, I’ll talk about Eclairs and what they taught me about accelerated learning.
EP073: Time For Your Horses & Life with Dr. Sarah Reiff-Hekking

EP072: Mindset & Planning
In this episode I’ll talk about how to prepare for your time with your horse so that every session can be a great session… It’s a little about mindset and a little about planning. We want to have a plan, and we want to be in the right mindset to be able to DO the plan.
EP071: My Horse My Rules
In this episode I’ll talk about rules that exist for horse behavior and whether or not we all need to abide by them. You might guess by the title of this episode that I think there is some wiggle room. There are also some rules about relaxing rules.
EP070: Anthropomorphism
In this episode I’ll talk about Anthropomorphism and how it is bad to do that with our horses…. Or is it?
I’ll take a look at common ways we give our horses human characteristics or attributes and how that affects our success with them. It’s not as clear cut as you may think.
EP069: A Working Relationship

EP068: Reasons, Seasons, & Lifetimes
In this episode, I’ll talk about forever horses… How that can be the most beautiful thing, or not..
EP067: What’s With Those Ears?
In this episode, I’ll talk about horses’ ears and what it means if they are back during training sessions. I’ll talk about 2 different training-related possibilities and the 2 different solutions that go with them.
EP066: Ask Karen Anything – Food Rewards
In this episode, I answer a question about using food rewards. Many people have trouble using food rewards because their horses end up getting pushy and distracted by the treats, and they end up creating bad behavior instead of rewarding good behavior.
EP065: Happy Horses with Luis Lucio
In this episode I share an interview I did a while back with International dressage trainer and rider Luis Lucio of Spain. He has competed at the highest levels and has also explored and embraced natural horsemanship.
EP064: Its Hard To Be Easy
We all want our horses to be easy to ride and play with. In this episode I’ll talk about how we shouldn’t expect it to be easy to make things easy, what it means to work hard (how that’s different than being difficult), and why you need to fall in love with the process.
EP063: Leg Yields
In this episode is about Leg Yields. I’ll talk about what they are, why you want to do them, and the most important reason for doing them that most people don’t realize!
EP062: Empowerment
This episode is based on a blog I wrote about Sneaky Disempowerment and 7 steps to avoid it. I’ll talk about what we can do to help ourselves stay at our best.
EP061: The Frustration Trap
In this episode I’ll talk about frustration. It’s an emotion we all have experienced at some point or another. I’ll share some insights into it, I’ll talk about why we want to learn how to manage it, but I’ll also talk about how it can sometimes serve us.
EP060: Compromise By Comparison
In this episode I talk about the dangers of comparing ourselves to others. For some, comparison can inspire and energize, but for so many students it only serves to discourage and deflate. I’ll share my thoughts on this dynamic and offer some solutions.
