OSIERLEA SPRING CONFERENCE
(We are calling it a Conference, rather than an Extravaganza, because our Ferris Wheel broke)
GROUND WORK
from weaning to Grand Prix
At Osierlea, in San Juan Bautista, California
February 25 – 26, 2012
This will be an overview presentation about this important and misunderstood subject – you can but do
not have to bring a horse! Come, watch, participate, and learn!
• Ground Work is a test, a tool, and sometimes a life-saver
• It helps with general Submission and Safety, including veterinary issues
• It includes proper leading and handling, longeing, and long-reining
• It prepares the horse, at any level, for the next level of training
• It helps to clarify the horse’s understanding of the specific tasks required
• It lets the trainer see the WHOLE horse, not just the front end that is in our normal field of vision
• It can be used for remedial training and rehab
• It helps the rider to understand the horse’s reactions and behavior (empathy & how horses think
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Basic Submission – how to establish a workable relationship between horse and handler.
Lateral work – explore the many possibilities and variations.
Collection and beginning medium and extended paces – how not to wear yourself out.
Piaffe from the ground – the old masters taught piaffe from the ground; so can we.
There will be classroom sessions, handouts, demonstrations, and audience participation with Osierlea
horses, or bring your own horse (limited to 6 outside horses).
Dr. Deborah Harrison DVM will be a guest speaker – addressing veterinary issues related to ground
work and rehab.
Dr. Yorick Wijting, Doctor of Physical Therapy, will be a guest speaker – addressing body function and
attitude of the handler.
