Horsemanship on the Ground

Horsemanship often involves activities "on the ground".  Using the "horse whispering" techniques of people like Monty Roberts, Pat Parelli, Clinton Anderson, Ray Hunt and others, one learns how to use a horse's own language and communication skills to develop mutual respect  through shared "play".
