101 Groundwork Exercises

This book guides you step by step through training and schooling your horse using groundwork and in-hand work.

Each exercise also sets clear goals to achieve and provides solutions to the most common problems. This practical guide is an invaluable aid for calmly succeeding in your horse's groundwork and in-hand training, and is suitable for both novice and experienced riders.
