Dissapontimg. Their are much more than that

I think thisis a enrchment. For both😅

And you need.a dog that listen to you. But what a joy! I have a young horse now, and my dog is always there to secure her. But i can ask my dog do.go forward, left, right, and stay. And sit on a ditanse

I have had dogs aroud horses for dekades

Thanks, Karen you have clarified my recent riding experience and how I reacted to it (pretty well for an old guy) I think I'm on the right track.

Such a beautiful display of true connection!

This actually brought a tear to my eye; so beautiful, so soft. I love being this way with my horse. He is a mustang, wild 7 months ago, and the whole process I have tried my best to be this way. Not nearly as graceful but we are getting there!

Great episode! It feels like it was meant just for me (lol). I can't wait to use these ideas!!

AuDHD for the win with horses!!

I have had this poem on my wall for a few years. It still stirs my heart every time I read it. Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece.

Thanks, Karen, I thought it was just me when my mind told me what I saw instead of my eyes telling me what I saw. Gets scary when Traffic lights are involved and frustrating when you get to work an hour early because you perceive the clock as saying it is 3:00 am and time to get up, instead of the real-time of 2:00 am and you have another hour to snooze.

I found your website today by chance, and very much appreciated seeing the videos of the before and after schooling. Yes, I'm greatly inspired,candy I will be following up at your website. Thank you for posting your videos, which I found when I Googled bridleless dressage riding. Catie Gents, Conifer, CO

I'm here cause of the The Behavior Panel. Greg Hartley is great.

I'm still enjoying this material!

This is so wonderful 🥰

How you have your horse takes off In a center

Beautiful story ❤

This was great. Thank you ❤

Thanks for the effort Karen.

Fabulous podcast, thank you for re-posting, Karen! As to the cooperation of the horse, a long, long time ago my coach, Anne Howard said to me: "Look, its 120 pounds vs 1200 pounds. The horse isn't working for you because he has to, its because he WANTS to". Love that you're reiterating this 30 years later!

But why always the use of bits? I would love to be doing this without medal in my horses mouth

Very informative! Thank you!

Fan’tabulous! You have to be a fan to get this so SPOT ON! 🫶🏻😄 Love it!

Coming into this episode late...Surfing with the behaviour dudes this evening😁. Interesting interview. Thank you. Wanted to share another level from an animal communicators point of view. I have found some of the horses I've worked with tend towards a heirarchy. This was surprising yet it also makes sense. I feel Karen, that you resonate a very grounded energy that seems somewhat natural for the horses to be able to handle. It makes sense that you would get the most out of your animals in that field. High respect for that. 💌 I find that many animals {horses included} seem to understand more subtle frequencies of sadness due to anger, over sadness due to grief, also anxiety due to fear and anxiety due to a disorder. There seems to be an understand of brain function and wavelengths within the mind that shows how we process information. So if those synapses are disrupted or unnatural in some way there is a sense of empathy there for that on some level. They are, along with other animals, routinely not given enough credit for the amount of information they process on the daily from us humans and other animals. No two are the same as we are as well. In reading your information box talking of 💟 "heart centered" 💟 commitment That's really where these animals come from. Oh! ...They also have a great sense of humor depending on the individual 🤠😊 Thank you for an enjoyable hour 🐎 ~S

Sre you sure it's shivers?

But Greg didn't even realize that horses relaxed breathing out where the nostrils vibrate, was just that a cleansing sigh. But I do appreciate and happy that Greg admires horses. Remember too, the military breaks you down so they can build you back up, sort of like the mentality of a horse being "Broken" That's not a good way to go, in my opinion. But Greg is right- "A Bucket represents food" yep! lol Greg is one of the more honest/sincere panelists of the group

The horses interacted with you by choice. I can imagine that every interaction between horses, even amongst themselves causes some kind of tension in every individual. Without tension no interaction is possible. Same applies to interaction between species. Feel blessed for the gift they gave you.

this is amazing! my 4y/o has shivers and we always struggle with the farrier, i will definitely give this a go!! roughly how long did it take until you saw results?

I also clocked onto that song very quickly. Crazy how so many people are still asleep

Terrible term, its awful how these beautiful creatures are treated by many, i dont have a horse, i literally drive out tland stop to see random horses, theres something so special about them, i love their strength and wisdom, they are so spiritual and emotionally intelligent ❤️ thank you for sharing ❤️ keep shining ✨️

One of the most timely and positive podcasts about the current state of affairs not only in the horse world, but globally. Bravo Karen you never fail to advocate for our equine partners who ever so patiently and stoically wait for us to catch up to the level of consciousness they are trying to convey. Some may think these words are woo-woo, however whatever the label your podcast is spot on. Jimmy Wofford wrote a very good article about horse abuse within the industry, it was published by Practical Horseman and is still easily accessible online. Your sentiments mirror his, and then some.

Awesome!

This was amazing to watch. There was some body language of yours that I noticed, and wasn't sure if it was intentional or not. In the beginning you had your arms crossed across your body while your horse was deeply resting. Around the 7.27 mark in the video you dropped your arms and were just hand over hand at your lower abdomen, and he immediately cocked his right ear towards you. Things started to change and he became more alert, started the scratch with his hind leg and you went in and supported the itch he wasn't completely getting to. I was wondering if the crossed arms to uncrossed arms was intentional on your part? I was amazed at how you made a further connection with him with the scratching and how he became slowly open to your suggestion of going in his stall. He did it in his own time and on his own terms. Very beautiful to watch :-)

Brilliant explanation of the biomechanics and the trust required. Lovely artwork too! <3

You are absolutely brilliant. I just discovered this after becoming a heavy user of these gentlemen since discovering them- you have absolutely nailed them to the smallest minutiae possible- I tip my hat to you, for sure - much respect ✊🏽 outstanding, nailed it - my teenage daughter just came out of her dungeon room to see what was wrong because I was laughing like a fool, full on and with joyous abandon - this happens so little what with the crippling depression and anxiety, I can't emphasize enough how much I need this video in my life to watch over and over again - with most sincere gratitude, warmly, Jamie from New Haven, Ct.

I’d love to see a video of Greg jousting! What a fascinating insight into his other activities other than behaviour analysis. Thankyou.

Thank you ❤

Beautiful

Bet that podcast sent your brain to thinking!

✨💓 blessed my intuition and heart led me down this same path, keep shinning ladies and sharing💯

Thank you for posting this. This was really insightful and gave me a lot to think about. The mare I'm working with is the "low energy, negotiator" type you mentioned. Her ear pinning has gotten a bit worse, but she does more than that. Her eyes dart around a lot, pretty far away from me. The outer white of her eyes are red. She's been getting pinny eared and nippy when grooming. The harder you think about this, the more complicated of a problem it becomes. Its easier for a lot of people to simply "smack" their horse and tell them "bad," but I'm trying my best to understand the animal as being an intelligent and emotional being.

Amazing and spot on. Agree with above. Y'all 100% nailed them and then some. Brava!

My farrier told me that if I ride my horse correctly it will change the way his feet grow out, to his benefit. He was correct.

What a brilliant conversation! I learned so much and will be seeing my horse through much wiser eyes. Many thanks to you both ❤

Wow this is beyond precious Karen. Thank you for not editing the video down. Would you say atomic pain level is fairly high with this flare up? I could see his nostrils quite flared and tense. They are such stoic creatures eh? What causes him to have these flare ups do you know?

Wow! That is absolutely beautiful. I know you wouldn’t do that in a normal situation, because, of course, being decisive is important. But that was really beautiful.

I wonder if this would work with my mare. I'm a firm believer in energy work, and animal communication, but my mare Luna and I seem to be at an impasse lately. She has started a habit of becoming very anxious and bargy with her shoulder when I bring her in to the barn at night. while we're in her pen, she is calm, willing and her usual sweet self. The moment we cross the threshold of her pen and turns into a frantic dragon who runs in tight circles around me, almost hitting me tierh her shoulder. Conventional methods of getting her to back off fall on her deaf ears. My energy gets thrown out of whack because I have PTSD and Anxiety myself, and her anxiety makes ME anxious which doesn't help at all. I think I'll start talking to her more, and projecting my wishes to her. Thank you for sharing this. I'll let you know how it goes. :)

What an awesome video! My horse sometimes wants to stay and eat hay in his stable and I need to take him out to his herd because I need to go to work. He will listen when I really ask to go, but I like your approach so much more. Am definitely going to try it. I love your podcasts, they are filed with wisdom.

Oh my… I love you for this. Thank You so much for giving us the opportunity to see this (and thanks for not editing the waiting part), it is something I will use with my animals. ❤️

So gorgeous ❤
