Connecting Groundwork with Ridden Work for you and your Horse gives you a series of exercises that will connect the trusting, respectful relationship that you and your horse have created on the ground to your ridden work. It works in companion with “Leading Light; an Introduction to Groundwork for You and Your Horse”, and for the best understanding of the exercises in this book you may find it useful to become familiar with these ground exercises.
Many of the exercises may sound very obvious, hardly worth spending time on, and for many horses this is exactly their experience of the human world. We do not take time and care over the small, obvious tasks but rush past them until we get to big things. Unfortunately, this can be when things fall apart and we are at a loss to understand what went wrong. Groundwork is where we establish a relationship of trust and respect, these exercises are a guide to caring for that relationship so that once we start to ride it is still there for us, strong and reliable.
