About this episode
Karen Rohlf discusses pressure and release in horse training, emphasizing positive reinforcement and partnership.
In this episode I talk pressure and release and positive reinforcement in an (hopefully) helpful way, freeing you from the extreme opinions and helping you play where the truth is - in the middle. I also have a big announcement 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.
