Karen is joined by special guest Sharon Madera, a Certified Horse Behavior Consultant and practitioner of the International Society For Equitation Science. Sharon observed Karen teaching her Sweet Spot concept of the 3 conversations of Relaxation, Energy, and Balance. Karen was explaining how, when you ask the horse for more of one of those ingredients, we need to be willing to give up the others for that moment.

This video is great for anyone looking to understand the art and science of training!
