101 Ground Training Exercises for Every Horse & Handler (Read & Ride)

This is an easy to follow set of ground work exercises for working with young, mismanaged or puzzled horses including long-reining and lunging, and with a slight Western influence. Plenty of clear illustrations, and lots of ideas for when you know you need to do more ground work but you and your horse are bored with the usual stuff. Mine will end up with a Masters in ground work!!!

We haven't had chance to use this book yet but looking through it it is really well laid out and easy to use or find the exercises you want. It looks like we will have a lot of fun using the exercises in this book and hopefully getting some great results with the horses.

Excellent content but would be greatly improved by being in colour and laminated

A really great book with awesome tips.

Fantastic book. Great help and full of ideas that my horse and I are working through.

Nice !

Makes it sound like you can do loads of interesting things with your horse but it’s actually how to back a horse and desensitise Bit disappointing

I was expecting more.... This book is very, very basic

Love this book - builds really well on Parelli work I've already done. The real advantage of it is that it gives simple exercises, that are easy to follow. My horse will get on the float but will not stand for me to put the bar across the back - she backs out before I can do this. I realised that I need to work more on my forward, halt and stand messages. Cherry Hall also encourages voice commands, which I love because a quiet, calm but confident voice calms the horse too in stressful situations (a calm voice works so well with cattle too). If you have trouble at any point with an exercise, it gives you ideas on what might have gone wrong and refers you back to earlier, basic exercises. The layout and explanations on where things might be going wrong are fantastic and has helped my confidence immensely. I read up on several exercises each night and then try them the next day with my horse. Increasingly, I can see her looking at me as if she is saying "That was interesting, what are we going to do next?" or "Is that what you wanted me to do?". I'm sure horses have a sense of humour now and that they can smile! I'm finally appreciating that even if the exercise isn't perfect, we are both playing but training & learning at the same time.

Consiglio a tutti i proprietari di cavalli che vogliono diversificare un pò il lavoro con il proprio amico!! Davvero utile!

I love this book. Great book for beginners to long time horse owners. Tons and tons of exercises with explanations and illustrations. I love to go through each spring with tabs, marking exercises for each of our horses by priority. If you need help coming up with ground exercises for your horse(s), you'll find plenty in this book!

All basic things to make any horse easy and fun to handle. Step by step excercises are easy to understand with different variations and problems explained. Suitable for any horse with any purpose

O livro não é ruim…apenas não é o que eu esperava/precisava. Os exercícios de chão são voltados à doma/iniciação de potros.
