Training
~ Ground Driving ("Printer
Friendly" version of this page)
|
|
A good exercise to practice for ground driving is to be able to drive a horse all of the way around an arena, round pen, or pasture. When you get good at this you can move off the barrier and drive the horse to objects, like a gate. Then you're ready to move to trailer loading, this will be simple if you have ground driving working for you. |
