    I’m 56, a beginner rider. Each session of groundwork, I learn something new. But I’m a softie. I speak softly to my horse that I train with. I look for affection and I’m starting to get it. But I know I have to be cautious because she knows she’s stronger than me.

    From someone who grew up with an old-school-outlaw-bustin-cowboy-mentor - I was taught to MAKE the horse do. Pressure was always on. It has been very hard to retrain my hands and muscle memory to be soft. Being a soft handler takes just as much practice as it does to be a soft horse!
    Jimmy is a beauty! Love the tips Matt - fundamentals are much needed for all horsemen.

      I’d say it’s less of a soft hand and more of shifting to using release as much as you use pressure.

    Love ground work. I'm a firm believer in moving my horses forward, backwards, left and right during my ground work session. Makes for a nice and respectful horse. :)

    Hi again MATT
    Good to see you.
    No better said then to pay attention to the small things. Taking care of those little things on the ground can make a big difference and less hassle when riding. Really good tips can be used at
    any time.
    Thx as always for sharing. Good to know you're surviving the heat!

    Hey Matt. That was great. I have a horse that sometimes bucks under saddle when I running fast on a third Barrel home I have been lunging him at the Lope before getting on. And trying to make him buck on the ground and then reprimanding him by saying hey in a Gruff voice when he does buck. And then getting on when he has no bucks left to give. In your opinion am I doing the right thing that's good for my horse?

      To put it into perspective,a basic light roundpen will cost about $1300
      That is for just light panels and not including sand/dirt and grading or tractor work. Cost quite a bit to set up a proper roundpen. Ask me how I know.
