Connected Groundwork I: Exercises for Developing and Maintaining Freedom of Movement and Self-Carriage is a how-to manual of groundwork exercises that loosen, re-educate, strengthen and maintain your horse's body to overcome bracing patterns, engage from the hindquarters, lift the back and release from the base of the neck. These exercises are also assessment tools that tell you a great deal about the state of your horse's mind and body-and how he is likely to respond under saddle each day. You will learn more about your horse's behavior and movement patterns, how to use your body more efficiently to facilitate postural changes in your horse, see and feel the value of establishing proper movement and warm up from the ground before getting on your horse.

Connected Riding: An Introduction can be your first step to dancing with your horse. Based on biomechanics of movement, Connected Riding teaches riders to synchronize their movements with those of their horses to create more ease and better performance. In this book, you'll learn how to influence the horse's movement through an effective position and an elastic connection, allowing you to let go of compressive, energy-draining techniques. If your riding has become stressful, painful, frustrating or "stuck," Connected Riding can help you, because it will restore motion, life and partnership to your riding; a method for all disciplines and all levels of riding!

Connected Riding: An Introduction

Outskirts Press

Introducing a new approach to specialized groundwork for horse training, this guide provides more than two dozen exercises to help horses and their handlers find a reciprocal connection on the ground before the rider takes a position in the saddle. These exercises—done both standing still and in motion—are shown to drastically change the way a rider sees and feels about the horse, and immediately improve how the horse moves, responds, and works. Aspiring to the ideals of lightness and ease promoted by top riding instructors and classical texts, the exercises found in this manual help handlers achieve the goals of discipline and joy that they have for their horses—leaving behind the mechanical, stiff movements that inhibit horses from expressing their innate curiosity, trust, and freedom of motion.
