Groundwork with our horses sets the stage for communication from their back. Teaching your horse to work with you at liberty while teaching your horse to do tricks builds confidence, communication and connection. Groundwork is not just for young horses, it’s a foundation that builds every time we groom, tack-up and lead our horses. We can always go back to groundwork to set the horse up for a successful next step in the training. Want to learn more about working your horse at liberty and teaching it tricks?
Groundwork Clinic Coming to SLO County
Sweetbeau Horses is excited to bring clinician, Sam VanFleet to our area! Sam works mainly with young horses especially Mustangs, PMU foals, and warmbloods. From gentling them to be quiet and soft, to their first ride under saddle, and beyond. This clinic in particular is an introduction to liberty training and tricks, so there will be a lot of good groundwork foundation.
Who is Sam VanFleet?
Sam has competed in many Mustang Makeovers and specializes in training people on the gentling process for mustangs. Sweetbeau Horses loves Sam’s liberty training as well as her gentling process and they hope to apply this to not only Mustangs, but outside horses who come for the clinic. You can never have enough groundwork and foundation on a horse!
