People sometimes wonder why we do so much groundwork. Why not just get on and ride the horse especially if it has already been ridden for years. It doesn’t matter if your horse is just getting started under saddle or is already broke, there is a basic foundation that all horses need to have. The best way to establish that is to teach them on the ground first. The riding is the easy part. There is a side note to this, you need to have the correct facilities and the knowledge. What you see in this video is a horse that would have jumped out of an insufficient round pen and without knowledge and experience, someone could have been really hurt!
