Groundwork

Groundwork is the foundation for creating a strong, harmonious bond with your horse companion. Essentially, it is about bridging the natural distance between two species – horses and humans.

Horses, inherently hesitant to follow humans due to their primal instincts, tend to instinctively perceive us as predators. Groundwork serves as a bridge that allows you to communicate with your horse on a level they naturally understand. This establishes you as a trustworthy leader and confidant, a role typically reserved for other horses. It’s not about spectacular maneuvers or fancy tricks; rather, it’s about deepening your connection by gaining meaningful insights into the world of horses. Through groundwork, you will unlock the secrets hidden in the movement of horses, understand their complex communication system, and, most importantly, prove to your horse that you are not just another predator but an equal partner specializing in guiding them through our human world.

At Fearless Horsemanship, we offer comprehensive training in both traditional groundwork with lead ropes and long lines, as well as the art of liberty work. This allows you to embark on an exciting new journey towards a harmonious partnership with your equine companion.
