The Standardbred Groundwork Workshop is prefect for you, if you can relate to any of the following…
- Feeling disconnected from your standardbred and wishing you had a stronger bond with your horse
- Being embarrassed to admit that you don’t know how to do groundwork.
- Not knowing what to do when your horse misbehaves or can’t execute a skill
- Wishing your horse was more responsive to your cues
- Your horse’s spooky and nervous behaviour makes groundwork stressful
- Not fully trusting your standardbred and worrying about getting hurt when you handle them
- Feeling bored doing the same couple of groundwork exercises you know over and over again
- Feeling frustrated that your standardbred cannot perform some riding skills, like canter
- Wanting to improve your standardbred’s skills under saddle, but not being a confident, strong or experienced rider (yet!)
The Standardbred Ground work Workshop has been created to solve common problems shared by many standardbred owners…
