Light and Responsive (Groundwork)

My clients often say to me 'I wish you could be here for every session with my horse.'

Of course that's not possible, but I think I've found the next best thing!

I'm really excited to share another 'Let's play!' podcast. I have so many ideas for these - groundwork, riding and hacking, suitable for all levels of horsemanship. They are perfect for clients to have me there to remind them of things in between lessons, and a great way for those unable to have lessons to get tuition from me in real time. These sessions can be used over and over again and are designed to be listened to while you are with your horse. 

In this episode I will be guiding you through a groundwork session encouraging lightness and responsiveness. The exercises are suitable for any level and can be done at walk, trot and canter but there is no pressure to go faster than you or your horse are ready for.

You will need:

A safe place to play, such as an arena or paddock.

2 cones/jump blocks/poles/other marker, placed around 6 human strides from the fence at B and E

Duration: 30 minutes (with the opportunity to extend the session if you need more practice time)

I hope you have fun and I'd love to hear any feedback you have, or ideas for future sessions.
