Horsemanship

Horsemanship is often used as the collective term for groundwork with the horse. Roughly speaking, horsemanship is probably everything we do with the horse - by its very nature, it refers to the quality of the interaction with the horse. Quality means that the work and training is on the horse's terms - at the horse's pace and within the horse's physical capabilities.  

Horsemanship and groundwork are closely related and are an important element in the training of all horses, both elite and hobby horses. The groundwork you do with the horse is the foundation of breaking in the horse. Through groundwork, all signals can be taught so that the horse is familiar with forward, backward and moving its front and hindquarters when it first gets a rider. This can make the whole process of getting the rider on easier because the basic steering signals are already in place, so there are fewer things for the horse to deal with.

There are many different approaches to horsemanship training, and it largely depends on what you want to use it for. If you want to learn more about horsemanship and the use of ground work, there are many skilled horsemanship trainers in the UK. If you want to learn more about horsemanship it doesn't require any advanced equipment - you can easily start with a regular stable halter and a pull rope. However, many people use rope halters for horsemanship training as well as horsemanship rope, which is typically longer than the traditional pull rope and has more weight and a leather cord at the end.  

If you have a problem horse with difficult behavior, a skilled trainer with roots in horsemanship can be a great solution. Through a lot of experience and good knowledge of the horse's stress signals and dampening signals, you can find the cause of the problem and the behavior, and then solve it for the horse with the right horsemanship  exercises.  

Horsemanship can therefore be a tool for many horses - both the young horse that is to be ridden and the horse that has been trained, but where you encounter challenges that can be difficult to solve. It can also be a good way for the rider with riding anxiety to let go of the anxiety and get back in the saddle again.
