Horse Ground Work at Liberty

I'm a completely amateur horseman but love spending time with Belle, my 16 year old mare. I've recently started experimenting with ground working her at liberty, that is, with no halter/rope. We are in a 1 acre pasture and she is free to be anywhere in that acre. My entire time working with her was probably about 45 minutes. I never used the halter/rope to get her to come to me. There's one shot where you see me "retrieve" her when she ran off to her stall barn. You can see that she will come freely, then circles once or twice then runs to the camera and knocks it over! We certainly have ways to go to look smooth and partnered but it sure is amazing to even be working with her at this level. I've found it extremely fun and challenging.

These are wonderful videos of you training Belle. It must be very gratifying to see her learning to obey your directions. She’s come a long way with you!
