he groundwork for beginners and pros is an important part of working with and training horses. It can improve the rider and horse relationship, communication, create a training foundation, and decrease some of the inherent risks.
Groundwork is just as it sounds- it is working from the ground with your horse. Although still utilizing training methods, none of the work is done as a rider in a saddle.
Although it is advised to seek assistance from a professional, there are many resources available to assist in groundwork for beginners. There are books, DVDs, videos, and local clinics/seminars beginners can attend.
