Webinar: Building your horse’s strength through groundwork

Building your horse’s strength through groundwork is great for both getting them fit to carry a rider or helping them recover from an injury.

This is a good webinar if you have an interest in learning about using groundwork to build your horse’s strength. Looks like some very qualified people who with be doing the teaching.

Horses evolved to perform as athletes without carrying a rider. So how can we condition them so that they are fit enough to do what we ask with minimal stress? If they do develop an injury, how can we give them the best chance of recovery? The answer to both these questions may be to include groundwork in your horse’s exercise or rehabilitation program.

Watch this World Horse Welfare webinar to learn how you can use groundwork to help your horse. Our keynote speaker is Jo Paul, a Chartered Physiotherapist who has spent the past 40 years optimizing equine performance and rehabilitation through physiotherapy. Jo was joined by our own Eileen Gillen, Centre Manager at World Horse Welfare’s Belwade Farm in Aberdeenshire. Eileen developed the ‘whole horse’ approach to rehabilitation that is now used across World Horse Welfare – a successful method that integrates physiotherapy and groundwork into horses’ daily lives .

The webinar covered topics such as:
• What is groundwork?
• When is groundwork useful?
• What groundwork exercises are safe and effective?
• Top tips to get the best from groundwork
• How do I know if the groundwork is doing any good?
• Can I harm my horse by doing groundwork?

Learn from Jo and Eileen the role that groundwork can play in helping horses become strong, stay strong, and recover from injury.

Learn about groundwork, its importance, and how to do it well from people who use this technique every day to help horses.
