In this Happy New Year episode Karen ponders the different cycles that we can experience in life and of course horsemanship.
EP175: Quick Message
A quick message of gratitude for all listeners before I take a podcast hiatus until January 5th.
EP174: Ask Karen Anything – Behind the Vertical
In this episode I’ll answer a student’s question about whether it’s ever OK for a horse to be behind the vertical. It’s an important subject, not only for dressage riders…
EP173: Bareback
In this episode I’ll talk about riding bareback, the pros and cons, the hows, and the whys..
EP172: What Makes The Difference
Everyone’s looking for the best system, the magic exercise, and the necessary techniques. These are important, for sure, but there’s something else that makes all the difference. In this episode I’ll attempt to define the elusive secret sauce.
EP171: Giving Thanks
In this Thanksgiving episode, I’ll be contemplating gratitude for all the things that didn’t go as planned or that might not have been welcomed or appreciated at the time they happened.
EP170: Dogs & Horses with Brenda Aloff
In this episode, I am joined by professional dog trainer Brenda Aloff. She is a nationally and internationally recognized speaker, clinician and author. She’ll be answering a student’s question about how to keep horses and dogs safe around each other. Brenda is also an equestrian so she is the perfect person to ask! If you have dogs and horses you’ll really enjoy this conversation.
EP169: Dr. Raquel Butler Integrated Veterinary Therapeutics
In this episode, I speak with Dr. Raquel Butler of Integrated Veterinary Therapeutics, in Australia. We’ll talk about listening to your horse when something doesn’t feel right, and the importance of a multi-faceted approach to rehabilitation.
EP168: Queen Natilla’s Performance
In this episode, I’ll tell the story of a recent bareback and bridleless performance I did with Natilla. I’ll share how we prepared, how it went, and of course, some super cute stories about my big beautiful mare.
EP167: The Unbearable Heaviness of Horsemanship
In this episode, I’ll talk about a trending message that I think is inaccurate and unhelpful. In fact, I think it is working against the best interests of horses and the humans that care so much about them.
EP166: Happy Athlete Training Scale
In this episode, I talk about the Dressage Naturally Happy Athlete training scale, and how you can use it as a blueprint for decision-making with your horse.
EP165: Ask Karen Anything – Rubbing On Wall When Riding
In this episode I answer a student’s question about how sometimes when riding her horse gets too close to the fence and her legs get rubbed into the arena boards. She shares what her instructor has told her, and of course I’ll share what I think, and give a blueprint for problem-solving such things.
EP164: Claim Your Cape
In this episode, I talk about why partnership isn’t enough. It’s time to claim your cape and be your horse’s superhero!
EP163: Should Not
In this episode, I’ll riff off of a student’s question to our FB group where she was wrestling with feeling emotionally and physically dysregulated, and what she ‘should’ do with her horse during those times.
EP162: The Sweet Spot
In this episode, I’ll describe what I call the Sweet Spot of Healthy Biomechanics. It is a key concept in Dressage Naturally. It can transform the way you train, and it is incredibly powerful as a tool for cooperative training of your horse’s posture and way of moving.
