Y𝗲𝘀, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺.
It`s all about 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
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.
If you are wondering how this can work for YOU, the program I recommend the most as a starting point is the 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗧𝗼 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗔 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗔𝘁𝗵𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 program. It provides a CONCISE overview of how to prioritize, along with key exercises to get started...
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.
