Australian Horse Training – Jason Webb

Ground Work Training

The Building Blocks to a Great Partnership

“Training horses is like building houses, you have to have strong foundations to build the perfect house!” Jason Webb

Groundwork cannot be underestimated – from the way we catch and lead a horse, to the more advanced skills of longlining to liberty work.

The majority of our groundwork is based around the following:

• Foals, yearlings and two year olds for basic groundwork to make them safe and controllable
• As an important part of the starting process for young horses
• Work on behavioural issues such as barging, aggression, leading, loading, foot handling and catching
• Developing collection, lateral work and flexion during close contact lunging
• Teaching handlers basic ground work skills in order to handle their horses safely with confidence
• Teaching handlers advanced groundwork skills such as round pen work, longlining, liberty work
