In Inge Teblick’s original Groundwork book, ropes were still being swung (gently, but still). Not anymore in this book: Groundwork 2.0 is completely rewritten, as ‘best practice’ in training evolves. Inge explains the basic exercises of clicker training, so you have all the puzzle pieces to compose your own step-by-step plans. Pleasant to read, practical, ethical, intuitive, and with a big heart for horses.
All exercises are explained in detail: not only how to do them, but also what they are good for. Each exercise is introduced with a piece to think about, to fit the exercise into a larger whole, and is then explained step by step, sometimes in more than one way.
In between, some practical principles are also explained.
Towards the end of the book, you can increasingly think for yourself how you could get things done.
The book contains many photos of different softies/trainers with the willing cooperation of their supercallifragilisticexpialidocious horses showing you step by step how to start with the exercises.
This book is an excellent introduction to clicker training, prepares you for the deeper thinking of ‘Thinkwork’ and ‘Ridework’, and also lays (part of) the necessary foundation for practical riding in Ridework.
