The Benefits of In-Hand Work Explained

Fine-tuning Aids

On the ground, your horse can learn precise aids without the complexity of riding, leading to better communication under saddle.

2

Straightness

In-hand work enhances straightness by allowing precise correction of posture, relieving the spine, and contributing to a healthy and straight carriage.

3

Strength Building

In-hand work is aimed at targeted muscle development, preventing muscle tension and promoting the overall physical health of the horse.
