Motivational and inspirational!
Karen has such a validating and unique way of helping us connect and partner with our horses. It makes so much sense and it amazes me why this process is not the norm in today’s horsemanship. When I apply her principles, I feel calm, yet focused and purposeful...My horses respond willingly and playfully. I wish I had found her 20 years ago! Thank you,Karen, for these Podcasts!!

Thank you!!
Thank you Karen—your podcasts are amazing, and are exactly the message I’ve been looking for! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed these, and look forward to the next ones❤️

Love this podcast
This podcast is wonderful! It puts you in a position to really think about your relationship with your horse and yourself and to make changes on a deep level. Thank you Karen!

Enjoy the ride
Karen brings much needed lightness and joy to the otherwise too serious business of horse training.

Every Horse Person Needs to Listen
Karen Rolf should be a household name for anyone who has any interest in horses. This podcast is another step towards that goal. A must listen!!!

Great Podcast!
Great information and easy to listen to. I learned new things that will help with my horse and with my life. Thanks for creating!!

Karen Rohlf’s Horse Training in Harmony Podcast
I’m so very excited to have you in my ears weekly. I’m sure you are talking directly to me because everything pertains to Dancer and me ❤️ Having been a Dressage Naturally student since the beginning, I am STILL blown away with your ability to continue to make material new, fresh and understandable from the super experienced to the beginner students. I cannot say in words how cool it is that you are doing a podcast. Lucky us!!!! Thank you always for your dedication and continuous support to us, your horse crazy family.

Inspiring and important
Karen discusses our relationship with the horse in such a beautiful yet accessible way. As an equine professional constantly trying to find a balance between sustainable business and empathetic horsemanship, I found these conversations to be a breath of fresh air... the first episode in particular should be recommended listening for students and coaches at all levels. <3

My new favorite podcast
Though this podcast is about horse training, it is also about how to become a kind, open, responsive and sensitive person with a generous heart. She always brings it back to us, who we are and who we want to be. The result is a happy, enthusiastic horse. It’s almost as if Karen uses her incredible expertise with horses to offer healing for our own rough edges. This podcast is interesting, informative and inspiring to listen to.

Compassionate & Wise View of Horse Training
If you love horses and horseback riding, you’ll benefit from this podcast even if dressage is not your discipline of choice. Karen’s perspective is thoughtful, well articulated, and grounded in compassion for horses and her positive outlook on life as well as years of training and study. She is the voice I want in my head as I head out to train my horses!

We need more voices like this in the horse world!
Karen always has such a lovelyWay of talking about horses and riders her approach always seems to come from a place of love and kindness and even though my training method is slightly different and I always find wisdom in what she says!

Thank you!
What a wonderful resource to help us continue to improve ourselves and our relationships with our equine partners.

Speaking to me!
Somewhere along the line, my horse and I got off track and what Karen was talking about spoke to my soul. I am looking forward to listening to more podcasts from her!

Love the positive mindset in training our horses!
Having a positive mindset and being "our best self" is so critical to achieving what we want to in partnership with our horses. I absolutely love this podcase series! Thank you, Karen.

Inspirational!
I’ve been following Karen Rohlf for a while and was very excited to hear of her new podcast as I’m a podcast junkie! She combines dressage with natural horsemanship to get that ultimate goal of partnership enjoyed by both horse and rider I’ve found this podcast to be very inspirational. Karen mentions in the podcast that she took some courses from Tony Robbins and has a photo of herself with him on her desk. That’s one very inspirational man and certainly portends great things from a protege of his. I am looking forward to listening to future episodes of Horse Training in Harmony and working towards my own perfect partnership with my OTTB mare!

Love it
I really enjoy following Karen and listening to her podcasts. As a life-long dressage rider, I particularly love her “natural horsemanship” approach and be challenged in my views. Looking forward to more of her podcasts!

Finally, Karen’s horse wisdom in your ear!
I have achieved beautiful harmony with my mare with Karen’s guidance. But, as a busy horsewoman, business and farm owner, and the mother of a toddler, I don’t have the time to view the online videos. Podcasts have been my saving grace ever since the birth of our son, and I am SO excited that Karen’s horse wisdom is now available to download and listen to while on a walk, in the car, or doing errands. Thank you, Karen! 😊🙏🏻

Podcast on Obligingness
What a wonderful podcast to help all of us that ride. When in a show barn or feeling the need to compete, sometimes this viewpoint can get lost. Thank you for the reminders of balance in life and the idea that the idea of riding in Itself is Awesome!

So happy this podcast is available!
I love all of Karen Rohlf’s work and now I can’t wait to listen to her teaching on my daily commute. Loved the first episodes and looking forward to more.

Inspiring and enlightening
Karen is a beacon of light in the equine industry, no matter where you come from or what you do. This podcast is relatable and inspiring.

What I’ve been waiting for!
I’m so happy Karen created a podcast for us! Now I can listen while I’m driving to work and I can think over the concepts before getting to the barn! ❤️❤️❤️

Love listening to Karen
I love Karen’s philosophy and look forward to listening to her podcasts. Her first one was spot on about being a good rider and the purpose of dressage.

Horse Training in Harmony
There is always something that resonates with me when listening to Karen. Great to have these podcasts!

Love it!
I love how Karen talks!A lot of passion and easy to understand(English is not my first language). I also like her way works to all the horses, any levels any discipline.

Essential!
Karen puts her heart and soul as well as her decades of experience into this podcast. It is a MUST for anyone with a horse.

Took the pledge!!
What a great listen! Good reminder to communicate clearly with our horses and not to get frustrated with them!

Wow!!! Good stuff
I love, love, love your encouragement, Karen, for us to take the responsibility for the actions we see happening between us and our partner (the horse). Things like "naming the feeling" such good advice. Being able to see our partner asking us questions instead of just seeing they are NOT getting it right. A clear conversation for the good of the horse. Remembering that they just want TO GET IT RIGHT AND IT BE EASY! Such GREAT stuff! Thank you for the reminder and I TOOK THE PLEDGE! Can't wait for the next podcast! Keep up the great teaching! Kathy Mueller

Wonderful Words of Wisdom
As always, Karen hits it out of the park. I’ve been a follower of hers since the inception of her virtual classroom. She’s all about happy horses and their joyful humans!

Loved it!
It's always good to listen to Karen. It was a good reminder for me since one of my horses has not been behaving well under saddle lately. I've been telling myself to not get angry or frustrated with him, but just to try to figure out how to help him. It can be hard, but I'm doing my best.

Great mix of the psychology and athletics of dressage
Karen is a leading coach in the psychology of dressage training. Speaking to anyone who wants to learn more about training horses to move in more comfortable and athletic ways, she recognizes riders as complex thinking beings who bring their attitudes and expectations into a situation, and acknowledges the subtleties of their role as both an athlete and a partner to the horse. The podcast topics are digestible but thought provoking!
