LatestGround Driving
by Lynn Palm |

This exercise provides a great variety of training for any age of horse or rider. Handler Coordination For the human part of this partnership, ground driving works on your coordination. It provides a focus on what you’re doing with your arms, adjusting your reins and keeping them organized, your foot fall to stay in line with the horse, or your foot fall to stay inward on a curving line. You learn how to flex the horse’s head inward so you can just see his eye.
