Think about your most rewarding ride. What made it stand out was probably the level of communication flowing back & forth between you & your horse.
One of the appealing things about our sport is the relationship that develops between person & horse. No matter how much you like soccer, you probably don't go out of your way to spend quality time with a soccer ball.
Karen can help you increase the feeling of reciprocity by enhancing your rapport with horses & giving you insight into how they think & what motivates them. She will show you some techniques you can use to encourage your horse to trust you. Respect, like communication, is a two-way street.
In these clinics, you will do hands-on, collaborative activities that help turn your horse into a willing partner.

Horse Wise
"Find a way of trying to work with the horse... find ways that help him understand what we're asking, as well as us understanding what he's asking or offering... rather than just trying to boss him around all the time. I believe the horse can read your intent very clearly, and offering to do things with respect, appreciation, and humility will take you much farther than doing things with the intent of dominance."
