Why We Ground Drive First

Ground driving is one of the most important things to do before you put the first ride on your horse.

Before we put the first ride on a horse we do extensive ground driving to mouth them out…soften their mouth and get them used to the bit. Because a rider can accidentally scare a horse during their first rides if the horse is not used to bit pressure.
