Groundwork and Classical in hand training
Training horses from the ground is vital to their postural and musculoskeletal development. It doesn't matter whether your horse is young or old, healthy or rehabilitating from injury - ground training techniques such as classical dressage in hand and long reining will develop core strength, symmetry and good posture. Any horse that is to carry a rider needs to good posture, strength and symmetry to perform at its best and reduce the risk of injury. I am able to work with you and your horse to develop these techniques.
