Groundwork for Horses – Fit for the Riding Badge Examination

Groundwork has been part of the practical section of the FN badges since 2014. In a station test, you have to show that you can correctly guide a horse through a course. But how do you properly lead the horse at a walk and trot? What equipment do you need? What theoretical knowledge do you need to demonstrate in the exam?

Waltraud Böhmke, an expert in groundwork and an FN examiner, has all the information important for successful exam preparation. This webinar is a perfect addition for exam preparation for riding, driving, and vaulting badges. Film sequences will be shown and questions answered in the webinar.
 

Learn in this webinar:

• Why is groundwork included in the riding badge exam?
• What is a station test?
• What equipment do I and the horse need?
• How do I lead the horse at a walk, trot, change of direction, and backing up?
