We know you have a busy life, you need time to actually go to the barn and ride your horse so you can implement what you are learning, and you don’t want to spend ALL of your time sitting in front of a computer watching videos every week. Each module should take you no more than, on average, only 1-2 hours per week to go through. 

Then you can spend as much time as you like working on the exercises and techniques with your horse.

This course is suitable for any rider, regardless of discipline, who has an open mind and is eager to learn new things. Some of the techniques, if you have never done them before, will make you initially feel awkward, but stick with it, because that quickly fades as you develop more competence.

This course is designed to be especially useful for horses who have been laid off or out of work for awhile, younger horses (not under the age of four, please), older horses, rehab horses, and horses undergoing a career change (ex-broodmares, etc.).

But that does NOT mean this course is not suitable for fit, healthy, dressage horses. It will benefit EVERY horse in many ways.

Then you are in the right place! We are going to give you an introduction to each of the covered types of groundwork so you can get started and find out what works for your horse, what you enjoy doing, and what gives you the best results for your situation.

Not a problem. Some horses have had bad prior experiences with longeing and we get that. We will give you some alternative methods to try, so that you can experiment if you feel like this might help. Otherwise, skip the longeing parts and just do the other parts.

First of all, we highly recommend that you talk to your vet about why this is the case. Sometimes, there is a solid reason. Sometimes, however, some vets have only seen bad longeing and they have a very negative impression of its impact on the horse. You can understand why they would come to this conclusion! This is not the typical "run them around in circles and stress their legs" kind of longeing. Discuss this with your vet so the two of you can together come up with a decision that is best for your horse.

If you still find that you can not do longeing with your horse, it isn't a problem. Skip the longeing parts of the course and do the other parts. You will still get so much out of it, and so will your horse!

You need a horse (of course), and a relatively level work space such as an arena or paddock area to work in. In Module 1, we will be providing a full list of our recommended equipment, but a quick summary of that would include: cavesson, 2 longe lines, circingle, bridle, reins, longe whip, and a shorter work-in-hand or riding whip.

Also helpful: a smartphone/video camera/robotic camera to record video of your horse. You will also need an internet connection and a computer/tablet/smartphone with which to access the course materials, zoom sessions, and Facebook Group. The Facebook Group is optional. Zoom software is free and can be downloaded at zoom.us .

Honestly, how soon you see results will depend upon how soon you start going through the course materials and implementing it. In our own horses, we start seeing changes to the horse's posture almost immediately, but changes to the musculature take time. It will, of course, depend upon your starting point. We highly recommend that you take "before" photos of your horse before beginning any of the work because it can be really exciting to compare these to your "after" photos at the end of the course.

Yes, absolutely. In fact, how advantageous that you have the option to learn this way when you have no access to local instruction. You can fall back on the Facebook community for camaraderie, support, and feedback in the absence of a local instructor.

You can take as much time as you need to go through each module. You have lifetime access to the materials, so you can work through it all at the pace that best suits you and your horse. You can come back to it at any time, you can start over at any time, and you can pick up wherever you left off whenever you like.

Every single video, audio file, every exercise PDF, diagram, checklist… EVERYTHING is completely downloadable and yours to keep forever.

This is unlike any of our other courses. We have no other groundwork-exclusive program, and this is the only course that contains a strong FeldenHorse Bodywork approach to supplement the groundwork training.

If you have questions or problems, come to the Facebook Group and post your issue.

You will gain membership to a private Facebook Group.

This is a Self-Study Course and all of the materials are available immediately.

Yes, absolutely. It isn’t necessary to have a home instructor, but it can be an advantage if you do. We have many members who have regular riding instructors and take lessons, some regularly and others more periodically.

Regular lessons can be an advantage, as you can get feedback from your instructor on how you are implementing the lessons learned in the course.

In most cases, the members in our courses have reported that their instructor is open to helping them go over the course materials.

No other program teaches our framework, our system, our methods, and our exercises.

Yes! In fact, you won’t be the only one. We have a growing community of non-traditional horses and riders in our courses. It is a melting pot where everyone finds common ground through the love of the horses, the passion for learning, and the ability to apply the principles and exercises regardless of the breed of the horse, background of horse or rider, or the preferred equipment to use.

Family members in the same household can share an account and individual access to the Facebook Group. Just email us at [email protected] to get their FB Group access approved.

You can access everything with an internet browser, however there is a free app for the course content which enables you to easily navigate the course materials on your mobile device. 

Perhaps it will be even better than you expect! But nevertheless, if you are unhappy with it for any reason, we have a 14-day full money back guarantee.

We cannot guarantee success. That is up to you. There is no quick-fix method to anything. You still have to show up, be willing to try new things, and implement what you learn. But knowledge is power and the more access you have to knowledge and tools that WORK, the more you increase your chances of success. As far as satisfaction with the course, we have a 14-day money back guarantee. Try it and see if you like it for 14 days before making your final decision.

Yes, many! These are the exact methods we have used ourselves to rehabilitate a number of horses we recently acquired after we moved to Portugal. We can vouch for its effectiveness! We have many riders all over the world who have been able to train their horses, even to FEI, through just our courses and/or video coaching.
