Groundwork

My groundwork lessons are based on Equitation Science Principles. I firmly believe groundwork prepares for ridden work no matter what stage you are in your riding.

If you don’t have it on the ground, you won’t get it when riding. I want the horse to look rideable from the ground first, understand what is being asked from the ground before attempting the same thing when riden.
A horse that doesn’t go forward on the ground, won’t go forward under saddle.
A horse that’s out of control on the ground, will do the same when riding.
A horse that’s resistant and heavy on the ground, will have the same heavy responses under saddle.
A horse that’s skittish on the ground, will be spooky when ridden.
Groundwork is way more than it looks like.
 
I have worked with a variety of horse including youngsters preparing them for being backed, helped riders improve lunging technique, riders who believe there is horse in being difficult, the horse is usually confused!

  • "Emma was great, very warm and understanding"

    I recently had an in hand lesson with Emma, my horse has had some veterinary and Osteopathic treatment and I was advised to do some in hand work. Whilst there is plenty of information out there about working in hand I wanted to be sure I was doing it correctly. Emma was great, very warm and understanding, she has a wealth of knowledge and she understood what I wanted to achieve. Emma demonstrated some ideas but also allowed me to put these in to action allowing me to iron out any question marks I had. I’ve been putting these ideas in to practice at home to good effect.
