GROUNDWORK - Starting
Your Horse the Right Way
Roeliff Annon shows how to get
familiar with the horse and his mind, followed by groundwork to get
the horse ready for training under saddle. His groundwork first establishes
a level of confidence and comfort in the horse as well as respect for
the handler and his space. The horse is then taught to move in and out
of the handler's space, to independently move hind end and front legs.
The horse learns many such basic exercises and execute them from the handlers
body language signals without fear and relaxed.
In many demonstrations Roeliff shows how well timed "release"
allows the horse to learn easily and with confidence.
This DVD offers some of the easiest to understand steps a handler
can take to get a responsive, respectful but not scared horse to handle
on the ground.
At the same time, all ground exercises shown here are excellent
training for and form the foundation for the future saddle training.
Roeliff's results are doubly impressive as he works with very alert, highly
perceptive and intelligent Peruvian Paso horses. This DVD shows modern
horsemanship at its best.
