Groundwork is GOLD!

5 minutes on the ground can change your riding!

In this video I am learning how to be soft with my hands,  

Can I move my horse through the pattern without pulling too hard or giving too much with the lunge line?

The softness & contact that I feel with the lunge line is the same thing that I will look for when I ride with the reins!

Watch the video for more information!

This is m follow up video that I made after Groundwork is Gold!

In this video I wanted to illustrate the direct connections between groundwork and ridden work.   I talk to you about the aids that I am using while I ride and how similar they are to what I use wh I also wanted to point out how SIMPLE and CONSISTENT cues make it easy for both you and your horse to learn.  I also point out how relaxed and rhythmic my horse is because she is comfortable and knows exactly what I am asking her to do.  

In this video I share my opinion on how to keep things uncomplicated for the horse.  How to use one rein at a time to keep things simple for both the horse and the rider.
