Working from the ground is a fantastic way to help horse’s who struggle with the environment around them. As a member of the TRT community I’ve taken inspiration from their exercises along side various other groundwork methods so we can help support them.
Even if your horse is confident working on the ground can be great fun and add further to your relationship with them.
By teaching them how to find relaxation in their own bodies we can help them build up confidence and start to regulate their own emotions.
It can be beneficial for all horses not just a horse with issues. It improves suppleness, helps you be more aware of your horses posture and how they move and a great way to build a stronger relationship between horse and owner.
Once a firm foundation is established we introduce environmental factors helping the horses deal better with the questions we ask of them in their daily lives.
The clinic is open to all levels, no previous experience required as you’ll be guided through the process. So if you’ve have never done any groundwork or TRT method before don’t let that stop you coming and having a great experience with your horse.
Sessions can progress to ridden once a solid base has been established from the ground transferring the tools you have learned into the saddle.
