Cowboy Dressage “Octopoles” Challenge on the Ground.
“Sending the horse around us in a circle of Ground Poles, is the basis of our groundwork maneuvers. We ask the horse to Walk, Jog or Lope using driving pressure from the hindquarters to establish Frame, Gait, Rhythm and BALANCE.
The horse should move off with light contact on the lead, never taking the slack out of the lead rope, and maintaining a desired distance from the handler”.
Halter with 20 ft coiled Lead-Rope or Lunge-Line required.
