If you are like most people, you know what you want your horse to do and
how you want him to behave. You want your training experiences to be
safe and enjoyable for both you and your horse. But maybe you aren't
sure what to do and when.
In 101 Longeing and Long Lining Exercises you'll find complete ground
training lesson plans from square 1 to square 101. Cherry Hill starts
with basic in-hand and free longeing lessons, then takes you through the
addition of a longe line, cavesson, bridle, surcingle, side reins,
saddle, and long lines. You'll learn a wide variety of ground training
exercises suitable for both English and Western horses.
