    Finally a dressage trainer I can look to who comes to horses the same way I want to. Wish more were like you, Karen! Your work fills a much needed gap for me and my own journey into dressage.

  • Ummmm

    So, I didn’t really need to listen to the podcast because I have a paint horse named pacific, A Appaloosa named Sprinkles, And a mustang named star.

    And I am a professional rider I do dressage, jumping competitions, race competitions, and more.

    And I will tell you my number so you can come and I can teach you.

    HERE IS MY NUMBER: 860-565-1232

  • Thought Provoking

    I just listened to the episode on brace and had an AH-HA moment. It made me stop and think about how I had been trying to find the relaxation previously. This was so helpful! Would love to hear your thoughts on horses that get easily distracted!

  • Brilliant podcast!

    Episode 181 really resonated with me. I will approach my next training session with my eyes open, with intention and a clear idea of what I am trying to achieve with each exercise. Thank you Karen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP267: Ask Karen Anything - Tricky Treats
Q: Hi Karen, what can I do if my horse gets almost frustrated with treats and seems to focus more on how to get the treat than on the learning?
Identify whether the issue is confusion, lack of clarity in the task, or high arousal. Simplify steps, improve cue timing, and consider using a calm-default feeding position with a controlled bridge to communicate progress. Also experiment with different reinforcers and pacing, insert breaks, and avoid rewarding every tiny attempt that isn't what you asked for.
EP266: Ask Karen Anything - Program Mismatch
Q: What are the potential pitfalls of assuming natural horsemanship is inherently better just because it is labeled as such?
Labels can be misleading; the real test is whether the teaching fits your horse and you, and whether you can observe tangible progress. You should evaluate the system with evidence, ask questions, and consider switching if the approach isn't working or causing stress.
EP258: How to Learn Online
Q: What makes online courses different in Dressage Naturally's approach?
The difference lies in prioritizing how students think through problems, providing a usable framework and map, and offering ongoing live guidance, private coaching, and a supportive community so they actually implement and progress rather than just collecting information.
EP240: A Conversation with Tik Maynard
Q: What principles do you follow while competing in Road To The Horse?
Tik mentions creating a list of 10 principles to follow during the competition, emphasizing the importance of putting principles ahead of results to ensure a humane approach in horse training.
EP240: A Conversation with Tik Maynard
Q: How did you end up making the shift to natural horsemanship?
Tik describes that many people enter natural horsemanship to solve a specific problem, but in his case, it was a coincidence that led him to Jonathan Fields' barn, where he saw a unique approach to horse training that inspired him.
