Transform the relationship with your horse.
More Harmony. More Understanding. More Fun.
Karen showed me how to connect from the heart...
[this course has] given me the knowledge, skills, and support I needed to create my dream life with horses, in a way that remains true to my values.
I also learned how to live better together [with my horses], so that we can find mutual balance, harmony, and happiness in all we do.
But most of all, I’ve learned how to connect from the heart with my horses, and for that I will be forever grateful!

Own your Mindset
Your relationship with your horse begins when you start thinking about him, and your mindset affects every decision you make. You'll learn a different mindset around partnership, relaxation, communication, curiosity, sense of humor, clarity, timing, feel, and consistency vs variety that will permeate everything you do with your horse.
Clarify your Vision
You'll be inspired by a new vision for your relationship with your horse. You will see demonstrations of how very simple, routine moments can be done in partnership, communication, and cooperation, instead of just in control. You'll see how your daily horse chores can be opportunities to take things to a whole other level.
Uplevel your Skills
You will learn simple exercises that yield tangible results. Many problems people have with their horses can be traced to very basic communication and trust issues. You'll learn simple yet powerful exercises. You'll also learn how to communicate with your horse so he can better understand you.

What students are saying:
I was doubtful about how effective an on line course could be, but I can say that it is a fantastic way to learn.
I continue to pick up nuances with each additional review.
I feel a sense of hopefulness and excitement that Raven and I can have the partnership that we both always wanted and maybe more than we ever imagined possible…Thank you!

The course has been so helpful. I relate to him and to other horses in a way that is different than before. He is now eager to be off for a ride, for in hand work, or going to the arena.
He has come a long way and people are noticing the difference. Thank you for passing on your knowledge and skills with such grace and kindness. It has given us a great bond.

Your course reminded me of the type of horseman I want to be and instilled the confidence for me to trust myself, my own knowledge, skills, and judgement of a situation.
This has completely changed my relationship with my horses and although it’s still early days, I feel so positive about our future and so much more genuine in my interaction with my equine friends. Thank you for putting this course together.

I have had so many amazing breakthroughs with my horses this past year, by having a truly clear picture of what I want to communicate to my horse, following through, and enjoying it.
My new quest is "can I make my aids effortless", and "how much effort did my horse put into the movement?" And Voila - my horses are offering so much, off of so little- and they are proud of it!!! Definitely a happy dance for me and my beautiful ponies. Thank you Karen.

A new beginning:
My vision of Horsemanship is about building confidence and trust, creating better ways to communicate, and encouraging cooperation with each other. From there, anything is possible.
I've been creating virtual self-study resources since 2010, always with the goal to empower students like you with the concepts, knowledge, and most of all, the confidence to enjoy the process of learning to find harmony with horses.
This course is the beginning, the base, and the heart of all you will do with your horse. Whether you have an older retired horse or are competing at the highest levels, I know these techniques will make EVERYTHING better.
With thousands of students world-wide going through the program, I am confident this course can help you realize your dreams with your horse.
