The Way of Groundwork.....

Groundwork with Betty has changed the way that she first was when I first started working with her! I think through groundwork I have been able to connect with her in a way that I am able to be her leader through her life! Every time I walk over to her she comes up to me and lays her head in mine! I think of the first day that I started working with her and how much she has changed over the past couple of years that I first laid eyes on her! I have taken her on trail rides by herself and walked her through the middle of a corn field with just me and her and she has been wonderful! This is her first off the property trail ride! When I walked her for the first time! There has been no riding yet but hopefully one day that will happen and she will be great. I have practiced with her both English and Western discipline to make sure that she is multi-talented in different areas of both strengths and discovering her weaknesses. She has been great in everything that I do with her. I mainly do a lot of liberty training with her. I practice a lot of Clinton Anderson methods with her and have been inspired by Stacey Westfall! When I ride her I usually like to ride Miss. Betty bareback and without a bit or bridle. I love riding with a halter that would be my favorite part! She has come such a long way and I am so thankful to have the opportunity to work with her each and every day!
