Module 3 – Groundwork and Longeing: A step‑by‑step guide

This module gives you a structured, step‑by‑step approach to groundwork and longeing. You’ll learn how to help your horse find balance, stay focused, and stay connected through a series of progressive gymnastic exercises. Everything is broken down so you always know what you’re doing, why you’re doing it, and how it helps your horse. By the end, you’ll know how to work your horse from the ground in a way that improves natural asymmetry and builds better balance, suppleness, relaxation, confidence, and understanding. This module is available exclusively to Balance First Members. To learn more about the membership and how to join, visit balancefirst.training and select “Membership”.
