Lately, I’ve been teaching a lot of groundwork. Sometimes it’s a short session before the dressage portion of a lesson, sometimes it’s an entire lesson, and occasionally it’s a full day of lessons at a clinic focused almost entirely on groundwork.

When someone already has experience with groundwork, I always start by asking them to show me what they do. More often than not, I find the work has become too robotic and lacks feel.

Just like riding, groundwork should be dynamic. It isn’t simply about asking the horse to perform a series of exercises. It’s a conversation. Every interaction is an opportunity to both give information and receive information.

The horse is constantly telling us how they feel physically, mentally, and emotionally. The best groundwork sessions happen when we stay present enough to listen, adjust, and respond rather than just moving through a checklist of exercises.

Feel matters on the ground just as much as it does in the saddle.

ISO:

We are looking for a very special horse who will have an amazing new owner and be in my program. The numero uno priority is amazing temperament. Definitely more whoa than go but cruise control is appreciated.

While they will be in my program, owner will be primary rider. We need a horse who can take a joke, is consistent day to day, and can easily have two days off and return to the arena with the same consistency as the week prior. An easy Flying change would be fabulous.

Rider is fit and has shown through I1, but she is mature and cannot afford a tumble.

She’s blessed with long legs so Mr. Perfect would be around 17hands. And yes, we are looking for a Mr Perfect, so geldings only please. Some maintenance is OK, but given that this will likely be her last horse ideally nothing older than 12.

Looking in mid 5’s but can adjust based on training. Starting our search within four hours driving distance of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. PM me what you’ve got!

It’s New Gate Day đŸ€©đŸ€©đŸ€©

We are always working to make Kynynmont Farm the best it can be and safest for our horses. As we replace aged tube gates we are using new mesh gates which present less safety issues for our beloved horses 🐮 💙

Volume on! He knows English!! 😂😂

Today was Malibu’s first time with a bit in his mouth and the bridle on.

Before today, he had already become comfortable with me gently massaging the bars of his mouth with my thumb. Then I started putting a thick, soft and round lead rope in his mouth the same way I would a bit. I position the rope where a bit would normally sit—slightly on the lower side—and I like starting this way because it’s soft, familiar, and, let’s be honest, most horses enjoy the opportunity to chew on their lead rope!

Once I can easily ask him to open his mouth on either side in the same way I would when bridling, I feel confident introducing an actual mouthpiece. By that point, the process is familiar, low-stress, and the horse already understands the basic handling involved with accepting a bit.

Collection doesn’t mean making the horse smaller or slower—although those things may sometimes be part of the process.

Think about the word collection itself. To collect something means to gather it, organize it, and bring it together in a more purposeful way.

In the same sense, collecting the horse is the gradual process of helping him reorganize his balance, alignment, strength, and energy. Over time, we help him carry himself in a way that is more coordinated, more sustainable, and ultimately more beautiful.

True collection is not about restricting energy; it’s about refining and directing it. The horse should feel more connected from back to front, more balanced from side to side, and more capable of carrying weight behind while remaining supple and expressive.

When collection is developed correctly, the horse doesn’t lose movement—he gains quality. He becomes lighter in the forehand, more powerful behind, and more elegant in his way of going. His posture reflects strength rather than tension, and self-carriage rather than restraint.

Collection is not something we do to the horse. It is something we patiently develop with the horse through correct training, thoughtful gymnastic work, and a commitment to improving his balance and well-being over time.

At its best, collection promotes both integrity and elegance—the horse becomes stronger, more comfortable in his body, and more capable of expressing the beauty that was there all along.

Sir would like to extend a huge thank you to Megan Pifer of MP Precision Saddle Fitting LLC for helping him find his perfect fit!

Choosing the right saddle—and maintaining proper fit as a horse develops and changes—is one of the most important investments we can make in their comfort, soundness, and performance. It's a process that requires knowledge, experience, and a true understanding of the horse as an athlete.

We are incredibly fortunate to work with a fitter who brings not only extensive saddle fitting expertise, but also the perspective of an FEI rider and horsewoman. Megan's holistic approach considers the whole horse, balancing physical comfort, biomechanics, and overall well-being to help horse and rider perform at their best.

A well-fitting saddle allows horses to move freely, develop correctly, and work comfortably—and Sir is certainly feeling the difference. Thank you, Megan, for being such an invaluable part of our team!
