Focusing on groundwork is important to lay down a solid foundation for you and your horse. A horse who doesn’t trust and pay attention to you on the ground isn’t likely to trust or pay attention to you under saddle. Use this assessment to jump start your groundwork conversations and start to establish or re-enforce you and your horse’s connection. Don't try and complete all of the steps in one day. Take each day at a time. You don't want to overload yourself or your horse. After you have completed the 7 day Groundwork Assessment and are looking for more - JOIN the 18 day Groundwork Program! We’d love to have you there! If you get to a step that you don't feel comfortable completing, do one of the other steps that you either feel you need work on or something else. ***Horses, being a flight animal, can be dangerous to work around and with.
