1

Move Over

Wow, Wow, Wow! We never cease to be amazed at how this seemingly simple groundwork exercise, yields so much meaning with outstanding benefits to you and your horse. Perfect for correcting pushy, unresponsive behaviour, horses that won't stand still. When washing or grooming your horse. For the farrier, vet, dentist. Around the stables, when saddling, etc. Your horse will quickly learn to respond to you and the respect and responsiveness will grow substantially.

The Dance

There are three main components of this exercise to perform if you choose. Go Forward, Go Back and Shoulder Control. It depends on what level you want to achieve. Regardless, the base level by itself of 'Go Forward' will transform you and your horse. Horses are closely held in-hand to provide optimum safety, precision and finesse. Your competency as a horseman (gender neutral) will absolutely soar. Your horse will not only reform its behaviour, the Dance also develops the body of the horse for suppleness and strength through its back. The changes will be sensational, even 'Magic' !

Transition

OMG, this is so much fun. At first glance it looks like 'Lunging' but it is not. For many horse owners, they will be shocked at how much has been missing from their partnerships' knowledge of how to work together. This is what we call 'emotional horse training' and it develops the horse's 'calm down' responses, concentration, transitions and softness both on the ground and when ridden. It also helps the owner to become coordinated and precise in their handling. The advanced stages can be used for exercise and developing bravery and responsiveness but definitely not 'brain-deadening' circles.

There is more to do if you want.
It depends on what you want to achieve.

Here is a snap shot of various groundwork exercises.

Learning how to have your horse respond to your requests, is the key to safety on the ground and preparing to ride.

Meaningful, safe, ground work exercises, through good horsemanship or natural horsemanship, develop a cooperative, polite attitude from your horse.

Ground work should be transferrable or replicated, when riding and that is the way we do it.

By doing so, it establishes consistency in your communication and helps your horse to quickly understand what you are asking both on the ground and when you ride.
