no w sumie spoko.
bez szału, nie było tutaj niczego odkrywczego, ale podstawy zawsze są na propsie.

Very clearly explained guide to groundwork. It starts with step by step basic handling and goes on to cover more advanced exercises. It was easy to read and understand and the drawings were helpful and clear, even though I was reading it on an ereader. Recommended--I especially think it would be helpful for people who don't have a handy trainer or instructor they can ask for help.

101 Ground Training Exercises Review

I have read and re-read this book several times. As I train my horse, this book is providing me with key ideas to be a better horse handler.

not what description depicts

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

Those who do not know me may not know I have a lovely horse, who is most likely permantly lame, meaning he has a hitch in his get along. he also gets bored silly just walking in a circle so i try to make it interesting for him, hence ground poles, which he loves lol
This book has alot of interesting exercises he and i can do on the ground at a walk.

This is an excellent manual to have! It goes through, as the title suggests, a lot of different ground exercises but with sketches and step by step instructions. It's an amazingly informative and easy to understand book to constantly revert back to when working with horses!

I would recommend this to someone getting started with horses.

Good

Good info but more pictures would benefit the reader. This weaves between a green horse or green handler. Difficult to determine which the exercise targeted.

It was helpful but not very much information. Some helpful exercises however I wish there were more.

Okay book, not for a horse that has some groundwork done. It is more for a horse that is just starting out. I found some exercises for my 7 year old mare, but not worth the money to buy it. Get it from the library!

This book has some of the basic groundwork exercises. It was OK, with nothing really that stuck out.

Great book to keep your bond with your horse. I keep referring back to it and have seen a vast improvement in my horsemanship
