Ground Work

All the things that I have done with Blossom so far is called ground work. In my training program no matter what the horses age, I put them through a lot of ground work and take them
all over town so that they have a been there done that attitude. Ground work is a way to make your first ride on the horse safer. It is a way to see just how much control that you have over the horses body parts. Like his feet, head and neck, hind end, barrel and shoulders. Some horses complete the ground work in a day, some take 30 days, it just depends on the horses temperment and how well they handle pressure. Blossom has done wonderful. Her ground work was completed in a short amount of time. I enjoy working with the Mustang!
