In the book you will find information on: aids used when working from the ground, equipment used in groundwork, various positions of leading a horse, body language, further development of the topic of communication with a horse (more in volume 1), you will also learn how to stimulate our and the horse's intrinsic motivation to work together and much more.
Academic groundwork is an extremely useful way of training. In young horses, after the initial training stage consisting in the development of bonds, relationship and communication with human (volume 1, Horsemanship), begins the stage of gymnastic groundwork, during which the human and the horse learn to use aids and perform specific exercises, which will later be applied from the saddle (volume 4, Riding In within the academic art of riding).
