Reviews:"This is a compendium of fabulous ground exercises you can use to bond with your horse, train him to respond positively to your cues and help increase his flexibility and suppleness. I loved it. Such approachable and easy to accomplish exercises that everyone can master." --Catskill Horse Magazine
Synopsis:Clever ways to improve your horse's performance when groundwork is all you can do. There are dozens of reasons you might not be able to ride your horse. Weather can have an impact on your riding and training choices, sometimes keeping you out of the saddle, as can an injury to you or your horse, or changes in lifestyle or horsemanship goals. But time not riding does not need to be time wasted, explains trainer and popular instructor Vanessa Bee. As Founder of the International Horse Agility Club, Bee brings to the stable a unique set of skill-building techniques and exercises that anyone can use to better understand how the horse moves and how to influence that movement, resulting in better behavior on the ground, improved performance under saddle, and strengthened connection whenever and however you and your horse interact. Bee's degree in education and experience as a teacher, as well as a horse trainer and riding instructor, informs the way she presents her easily achievable lessons that you can do right in the barn with limited equipment, including: Exercises to help you get to know your horse better. Safe handling techniques. Specific ways to build a trusting relationship. Fun games and ideas for engaging the horse's mind and body. Challenges that test willingness, balance, and focus. With five foundation skills providing a clear place to start, and step-by-step instructions for 50 individual tasks and activities on the ground that not only engage both horse and rider but build toward immense rewards under saddle, this vibrantly illustrated book delivers for riders of all ages and abilities. Whether your goals are better dressage scores or quiet trail rides, or just safe and fulfilling time spent in the company of horses, Rainy Day Horsemanship has the positive steps you can take, starting today, whatever the season, whatever the weather., What do you do with your horse when the weather ruins your riding plans? Or how about when your horse is coming back to work after time off or injury? Is there training that's safe for a retiree or companion horse? What if you like to spend time with horses, but you don't like to ride? There are a lot of reasons for unmounted activities with horses-they can give you useful things to do in small, indoor spaces on rainy days; they can keep your horse focused and engaged during time off; or they might be all you want to do, either because you can't or don't ride, or because your horse can't be ridden. Founder of the International Horse Agility Club Vanessa Bee works with horses and horse people from all walks of life and at all ability levels, so she knows the value of having a toolbox of proven groundwork exercises to help solve problems and develop important skills. She has gathered her favorites in these pages for a useful quick reference you can turn to whenever you need a fun and achievable goal for the day, whether the rain is failing or the sun is shining.
