Workshops 1 & 2: Introduction & Horsemanship Foundation Groundwork
Discover Horse Psychology-Based Training in Our Groundwork Workshop
Are you passionate about building a deeper bond with your horse?
No matter what your discipline the Horsemanship Foundation Groundwork Workshop, is designed for horse owners who want to enhance their relationship with their equine companions. It will empower you to better understand and communicate more effectively with your horse.
Unlock the Blueprint for Success
This workshop provides you with a comprehensive blueprint that serves as the foundation for all future training and problem-solving.

See the World Through Their Eyes
Understanding your horse’s perspective is key to building a more rewarding relationship. By learning to see life from their viewpoint, you’ll gain more understanding of horses and avoid many common misunderstandings and miscommunications. Confusion and frustration are very often the underlying cause beneath many unwanted behaviours.
The attitude and energy within you, is as equally important as how well you apply your physical aids and the timing of them. It’s all part of the whole communication and it makes a difference. This is why the same horse goes differently for different people, it’s how we put our messages across.
Why Groundwork Matters
Groundwork is the essential first step in your horsemanship journey. It not only teaches you how to communicate physically with your horse but also fosters a starting point for deeper connection with their mind, emotions, and spirit. It has universal training applications and can be helpful as a safety net for training anything you don’t feel comfortable riding through.
Transform Your Relationship
“As your horse training skills improve, so will your horse.” Effective communication that’s understood can transform your relationship and lead to more joyful and fulfilling experiences.
What You’ll Gain from This Workshop:

Safety Comes First
Prioritise safety in every interaction to build trust and confidence with your horse.

An Increased Ability to Understand Horses
Learn the mindset and learning style of horses to form a strong, lasting partnership.

Enhanced Handling Skills
Strengthen groundwork techniques and gain confidence for future ridden experiences.

An Understanding of the Fundamentals
A solid foundation in communication ensures long-term progress and fewer setbacks.
