Groundwork: Hips, Ribs and Shoulders

In this video I show you how to get independent movement of the horses hips, shoulders and ribs. In training these skills on the ground you are creating a horse that is much more broke and the horse will understand what you want and ride much better for you once you hop in the saddle. This exercise makes a huge impact in the horses perception of you as the herd leader since you are getting independent control of more parts of their body. We feel these skills are incredibly important to ensure you and your horse have a strong relationship and good communication.
