Practical Horseman Extra: Build Your Ground Skills • Show Coats

Use natural horsemanship groundwork techniques to develop a stronger bond with your horse, plus updated designs and fabrics for show coats.

In this issue, we explain how using natural horsemanship groundwork techniques can help you develop a stronger bond with your horse. We also highlight updated fabrics and designs in show coats.

• Trainer Maynard shares three groundwork exercises that helped him win the freestyle class at the Retired Racehorse Project’s 2015 Thoroughbred Makeover.

• A tack-store owner explains how the new fabrics in show coats are as durable as wool coats are—but they are also lighter, more odor-resistant and far more comfortable.

This Practical Horseman Extra is brought to you by Dublin.
