Let's discover what your horse feels and offers from the ground.
In-hand exercises help you notice small shifts in posture, balance, and coordination that often don’t show up under saddle — and that can make everything else you do feel clearer and more connected.
Most horses have natural imbalances — just like we do — and sometimes those show up as stiffness or uneven movement.
With mindful in-hand work you can begin to notice where your horse feels strongest and where they may be offering resistance, and then support them in moving more evenly and comfortably.
If your horse...
Feels more stiff on one rein than the other
Bends easily one way but not the other
Drifts outward or inward when circling
Isn’t stretching evenly over their back
Feels stronger on the forehand than you’d like
…then this course was designed for you.
Your horse moves with more ease and balanced coordination
They soften through their topline and lengthen confidently
Your communication on the ground feels clearer and more connected
Your sessions — both in‑hand and under saddle — feel smoother and more confident
You can achieve this without hours in the saddle or complicated gymnastic exercises.

In-hand work invites you to slow down and see how your horse uses their body.
From here, you can support flexibility, symmetry, and core engagement in a way that feels kind, grounded, and physically mindful — which often carries through into everything you do together.

More even use of both sides of the body
A horse that feels softer and moves with confidence
Greater relaxation and willingness
Riding that feels smoother, clearer, and more connected
