Pat Walters says: Hi Will,
I love all of the videos you share with us. I learn something new with each one. I have a request…..would you do a series of groundwork for beginners. I am trying to teach shoulder-in and haunches-in from the ground and I am getting nowhere fast. Would really love to watch how you teach this. I am sure many others would also be interested in learning groundwork techniques. Thanks so much for all you give to us riders and trainers!
Heather says: Hi Will,
I have a half arab/saddlebred cross that I have been doing this work with. She is stretching well at the walk and trot and starting to at the canter. My question is this; it seems that sometimes 3/4 of the way through our ride and usually after we canter she starts rushing in her trot. Do you think this is because she is tired and I should let her walk? What can I do to get her to slow down.

Your instinct was right, letting her walk would be the best choice. She is probably getting tired but the canter gets her mind racing a bit so you come back to the trot and all she can do is run. Learning to read the horse as to it’s level of fitness, it’s ability to sustain work etc.. is the most important thing a trainer my must develop. Most people I observe working horses today are in fact over working them!
