Fun groundwork exercises for bonding?

Hello! Leading exercises that focus on getting the horse to follow your body language work very well. Position yourself at the horse's shoulder, and let your body language show that you are walking on. Reinforce this if you need to, but the horse should start to move off ahead of you. To halt, use your body language by leaning gently backwards as you walk alongside, reinforcing if necessary, so the horse slows and stops ahead of you. Teaching the horse to rein back in the same way builds responsiveness and keeps its attention on you. 🙂
