EP193: Best of HTIH: Complicating Half Halts
This episode re-introduces a popular episode from the archives about the famous (infamous) half halt. The half halt is an important concept in dressage – AND it’s a term I actually rarely use. I get a lot of questions about it, and anyone who has studied dressage or has taken dressage lessons has been asked to do a half halt. If you’ve ever been confused about what a half halt is or how to do it keep on listening to this original episode on half halts.
EP192: Best of HTIH: Noticing
This episode is a re-introduction of a favorite episode of mine that goes more into our own minds rather than just horse training techniques, but I promise, what is in this episode will be a HUGE help to your horsemanship. It talks about what we notice, how our neurology works against us noticing everything we can notice, and it will give ideas for how to notice more of what we need to notice in order to improve. I love thinking about this kind of stuff, and I hope you enjoy listening to this replay of episode 104: Noticing.
EP191: Dissolving Brace
In this episode I talk about Brace, and more importantly, what we can do about it. As you might guess, the solution is a little about the horse, and about us. It takes 2 to keep a brace going, and it’s our responsibility to dissolve it.
EP190: Best Of HTIH: Assumption Of Obligingness
In this ‘Best Of’ episode I reintroduce an episode where I talk about an important belief that often is the root of conflict between horse and rider. It’s so important I want to revisit it again!
EP189: With Jim Masterson: The Masterson Method
In this episode I am joined by Jim Masterson, founder of The Masterson Method – a breakthrough form of equine bodywork which helps enhance performance, suppleness, mobility, and comfort whilst developing the relationship and bond of trust between the horse and owner.
EP188: Best Of HTIH: Confidence Is Over-rated
In this ‘Best Of’ episode I reintroduce an episode, “Confidence Is Over-rated”, where I talk less about what to learn and do, and more about the process of learning and doing. It’s one of my favorite episodes and worth highlighting again.
EP187: Best Of HTIH: What Makes A Good Rider?
This episode goes deep into the HTIH archives as Karen re-introduces one of her favorite topics. It was the very first episode released: What Makes A Good Rider? This is something we all need to be thinking about every day with our horses, and Karen’s perspective on this subject may be different than what you think.
EP186: Principles in Practice
In this episode I describe a lesson I taught recently in order to illustrate a practical application of some Dressage Naturally principles.This will help you understand how I strategized my approach to a challenge and hopefully it will help YOU be able to strategize, too!
EP185: Q&A Improving Rider Position
In this episode I share a question from a student (and my answer) about her rider position. It’s not so much about what is the correct position, but how to approach improving it in the context of training your horse. How do you train your horse when you know you have things you need to improve in your own position?
EP184: Real Life Transformation with Heidi Lowthorp and Niki Wilde Broadhead
In this episode I am joined by Heidi Lowthorp and Niki Wilde Broadhead, who are part of the Transform Your Business Dream Team that help heart-centered horse professionals. They will be sharing stories of their own transformations, what was difficult and how they overcame it. If you are a horse professional prepare to be inspired.
EP183: Heart-Centered Horse Professionals
In this episode I talk about how important it is that the really nice, compassionate, heart-centered horse professionals thrive.
EP182: Creativity with Sandra Beaulieu
In this episode I talk with Sandra Beaulieu about creativity and horses, and how you can express your own creativity with your horse.
EP181: Intention Of The Exercise, Part 2
In this episode I continue the theme from the last episode which was about the importance of knowing WHY you are doing an exercise. This time with more of a dressagey focus.
EP180: Intention Of The Exercise, Part 1
In this episode I’ll talk about the importance of knowing WHY you are doing an exercise. This will apply to the most basic or advanced exercises. When you don’t know why you are doing an exercise you can miss golden training moments.
EP179: Advocacy: Speak Your Truth
In this episode I’ll talk about the importance of advocating for our horses, and how that advocacy actually has to start with ourselves.
