Michèle and I have a herd of 5 horses. They are all aging and well past their prime. My pony, Chops, is fast approaching her 36th birthday, and I have noticed a few behavioural changes I had never seen before.
It is important to keep in mind why we ask something of a horse and know when we have achieved our goal, in order to know when to quit asking. On its own, ground work has no purpose. There are no Olympic or World Cup competitions in ground work.
