Karen Rohlf helps a student, Caroline, understand how to achieve 100% response to the request for energy. This horse is an upper level dressage horse who has also done natural horsemanship and somewhere along the way he lost his desire to go! This video clearly shows the theory and process of achieving 100% response in a way that will feel fair to the horse. In another video, Sustaining Energy, we will see the next step with this same pair. This video is excellent for anyone who feels they are experiencing less than energetic horses!
