EP069: A Working Relationship

In this episode I’ll talk about the dilemma many students have between wanting to be nice, wanting to be a source of relaxation for their horse… but also wanting a higher level of fitness or a higher standard of performance from their horses. Luckily you don’t have to make a choice, you can be a nice source of relaxation AND you can have a horse that will work for you and progress. About the Host:Karen Rohlf, author and creator of Dressage Naturally, is an internationally recognized clinician who is changing the equestrian educational paradigm. She teaches students of all disciplines and levels from around the world in her clinics and the Dressage Naturally virtual programs.Karen is well known for training horses with a priority on partnership, a student-empowering approach to teaching, and a positive and balanced point of view. She believes in getting to the heart of our mental, emotional, and physical partnership with our horses by bringing together the best of the worlds of dressage and partnership-based training. Karen’s passion for teaching extends beyond horse training.
