During the 60 Day Groundwork Challenge, horses and their handlers work on a different skill each week. Skills include: Catching, yielding HQ/FQ, backing, leading, sending over/through/under obstacles, learning flag work, tying preparations, trailer loading and farrier prep.
Here is a snapshot of the work Belle did with our Volunteer Rose F. during the challenge.
Belle is cute as a button and loves people. She has a big personality and can be opinionated and also very sweet and loving. She is looking for a home as a non-riding companion horse with folks that are skilled and patient to handle when she needs help when she is confused or excited when handled. Belle tends to be more dominant in a herd, but gets along with most horses.
Needs Intermediate Handler: Handler has experience working with reactive/nervous horses and has some problem-solving skills; has the knowledge and skill to de-escalate when a horse gets excited or scared; has some training skills and confidence using them.
