When starting your young horse, it’s an excellent moment to give your horse the tools they need to be successful in our human environment, but also to show them how to manage themselves.

Motivate your horse!

A horse that is very laid-back and maybe extremely lazy, often struggles to get himself motivated.

That’s where my Groundwork Wednesday comes in!
