In this episode, I am joined again by Karen Partisch who specializes in CST for people and horses, as well as energy work.

In this episode I’ll muse about the range of methods, and how to answer the question: “Which method should I use?”. As you may imagine, the ‘right’ answer is difficult…

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.

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.

🎤 NEW POD 💥 EP274: Reintroducing the Sweet Spot
Enjoy this short excerpt
For the FULL episode go to: https://dressagenaturally.net/podcast/
Or search for Horse Training In Harmony Episode 273 wherever you listen.
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. 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.
