In this powerful video Karen explores the Big Picture of communication with your horse, from the first goal of creating 'comfortable transportation' and how to take it forward into more complex, refined communication. The emphasis is on clarity and being able to be quiet and neutral. First she will discuss, then lead you through a simulation/meditation and the last part of the video is of Karen coaching a student to help her become more confident and clear for her horse in a very basic exercise. You will see how quickly things can improve when you focus on the quality of the conversation!
This video is for everyone!
