Course - Training the horses from the ground
April 2014
All training of the horse starts from the ground, hence once again the Groundwork course was being held.
The aim of the course was as always to teach the participants to read the horse's body language plus to be aware of the effect one owns body language has on the horse - knowingly or unknowingly.
For this lunge work was introduced, which correct and efficiently executed encourages the horse to go forward with impulsion, rhythm and pace, which aids the horse to improve its balance and co-ordination.
