- Welcome to this weeks video, I wanted to share with you all a normal day for me.
I am feeing nervous about sharing this video as I know that there are some strong views on the way I am training with the horses. I hope if you do have views on this you will remember that there are many ways to get to the same outcome so to be kind when you comment.
I have attached a link to my Patreon page below for anyone that is interested in learning more about the ground work.

I hope you enjoy the video and maybe learn something new.
best wishes Miri
I sincerely wish that more trainers would approach things as you do. Focusing on relaxation, trust and the horses comfort and understanding is far better than most of the other tactics.
Miri your videos could be 4 hours long and I'd watch every second!!
Wow it feels like ages since we had a vlog like this. Didi is massive to think she couldn’t see over the gate in the stable now she certainly could. Thanks for sharing Miri.
I love these long vlogs. They're so interesting.
Love your videos! Grew up showing. Saw your video on anxiety in the ring. I know you've probably received tons of unsolicited advice but...I would like to encourage you from a former show competitor. One reason I love watching your channel is that it's like watching a slice of my childhood. I think in one of your vlogs you were in the field, closed your eyes, inhaled, and said of the smell of horse manure "I can smell my childhood"-with a big smile on your face. I can totally relate. Not too many people can say that about horse manure! So please take what I am about to say as encouragement, and not criticism, as I so wish I had met more trainers like you when I was riding. You seem to really understand the mind-body connection that a horse needs to understand to perform at his/her best. While I wasn't blessed with trainers like yourself, I did have an amazing quarter horse who literally changed my life and shaped who I am as a person today. But back to you...Since you understand this sensitivity within a horse's nature, I'm sure that you also understand that as soon as you get on your horse's back, you can understand he absorbs whatever energy you have going on. So even if you have done your ground work in preparing him, if you are full of nerves, he's likely picking up on that. As you well know, he's looking to you for guidance. So he's looking for the devil in your details, including the energy you are giving off. (I'm not saying this to add pressure to you, rather to encourage you-just stay with me-remember, I've been in the show ring and I've been to Nationals in America). This means you have more power than you think. This means you can empower yourself to overcome the anxiety holding you back. People need a mind-body connection too. In the regional show videos I watched, you shared that you have some Muscleskeletal issues (hip muscles). Have you thought of trying something like simple yoga that deals with mindfulness in the here and now as well as gentle stretching. Again, stay with me :-) I used to think it was stupid. But then I tried it-much later in life, out of shape, a Christian told to stay far away from those New Age things. BUT, I found that it can be tailored to my needs. For me, I have a disorder that is helped by certain poses that stretch out my muscles and I can "meditate" on what I wanted to the music I like. For you, tailor it to the ground work with the horse you are showing. I also struggle with anxiety...and the breathing techniques I can adapt in almost any given situation without anyone noticing. How could this play out? You learn 3 simple poses and deep breathing you can practice with Obe in his stall after ground work when he's relaxed. You learn to practice the breathing when at home training. You practice the breathing until it becomes second nature every time you think about, ride and see your dressage patterns. You exchange deep breathing and yoga for "quick stretching" before the show. Incorporate meditation during this time if you like. It doesn't need to take 30 minutes-I remember what it was like-you don't have 30 minutes. But do take the time you need to quiet your mind body and spirit. Just like your horses, you can't take care of them, if you don't take care of you. Feed yourself so you can continue to feed them.
I love your vlogs and your training methods. It's like you go out of your way to be sure the horse is comfortable and happy. Your methods are positive and the horses respond to you. Kudos. P.S. Don't worry so much about what others think!!! Do what comes from your heart.
You are so good with your horses. You really listen to them and serve their needs. It makes me really happy to see human/animal relationships like that.
Awesome video! Spent almost an hour with Miri and her horses on this relaxing Sunday. ❤️
I love videos like this one!!!
I found all your comments on the groundwork soooo interesting, because of you I've recently been starting to use trt method on my mare. I am finding it quite hard to learn and implement but hopefully it will all click into place soon! I wish you weren't based so far away from me 😊
I love how you are so comprehensive at addressing the entire spectrum of training with each horse.
I think you're aiming for something called "Whole Horse Happy". That way, training can proceed with full learning experience and full positive feeling. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you for taking us along and hope Mo and Socks get better I know they are not technically sick if you know what I mean but still and I still think you may need a stepladder to get on because she is getting so big and I love update vlogs keeps us in the loop and hope Ralph’s paw heels soon poor little boy so looking forward to the next one and a mini Kenco
Thanks for the groundwork bit, very helpful!
Love your videos Miri. You must feel so privileged to work with such beautiful horses (-: Marion
Hands down the best vlogs around. Thank you for taking the time to share. 👍
Love all of the ground work! I do ground work before every ride with my horse. He’s similar to Obi where I tend to lose his focus and then he’ll become worried about outside things and sometimes have big explosions. The ground work really helps them to focus on you and learning to control their feet if they become worried. I love my double diamond rope halters as well! Awesome video! Keep up the good work with the ground work!
Really enjoyed the day in the life! My barn is still closed, so I am living through your vlogs! Good horse fix! 😊
Great video and I really like how you include different things in one video. Will definitely check out your Patron Page. I am a believer in your training method. Self-relaxation is the best thing you can teach a horse.... and then of course, the rider!
I could watch hours of vlogs like this to be honest, I loove every second of it
I always do some ground work before riding and then do a session of lounging once a week. This spring I did a solid four weeks of long lining because my gelding and I were having problems under saddle and now revisiting those foundations our problems are much better and more manageable now.
my experience with m and m ponies is no shoes are good shoes the hoof wall gets stronger and seems to help with concusion overall
Every days a learning day with your videos! I love it❣️
Fantastic vlog as always Miri. I would love my mare to come to you for a few weeks to learn the contact x
Am also a fan of running martingales for uneducated horses. Properly fitted and adjusted, they don't come into action until needed and don't affect the horse's normal way of going. I also use them when doing something with an educated in exciting situations.
Love this video so much, it's so nice to see how well cared for all of your horses are xx
I ride I love ure videos I'm a big fan
35:25 -love that bridle
Woop 🙌 missed these vlogs! x
If anyone is wondering the patreon page is 10/10 worth it!!!!!
Hi Miri good to see so much positive input from the ground work. As you say it makes the riding so much more positive.
How are you getting on with looking for somewhere new to move to? Not tge best situation with all the covid constraints. Thanks for the video loved every minute. 👍💜🎈
Loved the long vlog! I am left wondering what sandwich you got and what you wanted... 🤔. Ground work makes so much sense to me, it's like the building block cos of your relationship, and it's great that you keep visiting those good memories, sort of like a banking system, you're putting money in, in hope that one day when you need to draw on that reserve you have enough to be ok. Which is something I've learnt with training birds (sound weird maybe, but if you watch birdtricks channel, maybe you understand better what I mean). It's learning how to cope better with stress and how to better deal with stress when it does come. The right upbringing is everything for most creatures, including us humans, but even if this hasn't been met before, it is never too late to build up on that "ground work" as you call it. Please correct me if I've missed the meaning. I would love to watch more of how you do groundwork, because I live the concept and this style of upbringing, and not only for horses, I don't have a horse and probably will never have one, but I enjoy your videos (and Instagram) so entertaining and enjoyable, you help me to relax and I look forward to hearing what you have to say, I laugh with you and learn from you. 48min video is never too long 😉
Mine has sidebone, turned out he had it when I bought him. We went shoes on, shoes off, special shoes, normal shoes, total trial and error. Nobody can tell you the outcome or the timescale and it's heartbreaking. All the very best fingers and hooves crossed for Mo x
I find the ground work and that way of training really interesting, but I can't follow and learn from videos. I need someone to teach me in real life for me to get it and the nuances. Sad that you don't live in Norway, so that I could have some lessons.
Fingers crossed for Kenko...
I love your videos. Whats the shampoo as hirseflies are horrific at our yard xxx
Giving her lots of love xxx my horse is name is beauty and my filly is layla
Really enjoyed that - found your groundwork fascinating... Tempted to subscribe on your patreon..! 👍
Do subscribe, it is worth it. I have learned so much.
@@ES-ch6il I ended up subscribing after I commented! 🤣👍 Looking forward to learning more!
I've been following your channel for just over a year now and i have to say you've become one of my favorite youtubers! Your videos are always so informative and your horses/stable are stunning! I'm just starting to learn groundwork with my 5yo TB gelding. Aside from your Patron page, can you recommend any books that can help with groundwork? I also have a question i've been dying to know the answer to but i feel stupid asking. For mares that are expecting foals that were artificially inseminated, do they realize they are pregnant? I mean obviously with live cover they'd know but i'm confused about the AI. Do you think once their body starts to change they know somethings up? Or they know the whole time? Or is it just a surprise when the baby pops out?
I saw the foal so cute
Can I ask does Mo bang the door at all?? The best thing I did is take the pads off my mare. I found it got so hard under the leather pads (stuff they put under the pad.) She was bare foot and sound for 6 months however her stride wasn’t quite a big as before so my Newmarket vet suggested we try Webber shoes (I believe thats what they are called) maybe double check with vet/farrier. She’s so so much more comfortable🤞🏼 it’s been 6 months so far and I hope this is our solution.
Lol my horse does the exact same as Obi. Drinks nothing in his stable and lots in the field. Must taste better! 😂
"worm those young horses" *gestures with a knife* lol
I think obi would make a good eventer
Penny is so much like mine! He is not interested in any way about the ground work and i find it hard to keep him interested as he is a typical pony that concentrates more about his tummy! Do you have any suggestions on how to get him to engage with me?
Love your videos :)
Which halter are you using in this video? I like that it’s fine and not too bulky
Thanks x
My husband was just teasing me about how spoiled and untrained my dog is..... compared to how disciplined I was with my horse. My dog is my baby and has a large fenced in yard to play in, so she can be pretty wild at times. I think he's just mad she sleeps in the bed with me, LOL!!!!!
Im not an horse orthopedist and i hope this will not offend you . But my othopedist told me that horses my horse had too long hoofes . Mos hoofes look very long and the coronary band looks very uneven . She told me that it could be an indicator that the hoof itself it not used the way it should be. I could be that she has a bruse in her hoof thats makeing her uncompfy( sorry this is traslated as good as possible from german)
thank you for the vlog. Do you have any recommendations for the starting point of groundwork?
Yes please follow the link in the description 😊

@@hackettequine2059 great thank you! xx
I have a 10 year old mare had her just under a year she is a very spooky uncomfortable mare I’d love to know now that she’s getting time off ways to work with her on the ground to make her more comfortable would be lovely to be able to talk to you about her on messenger or something
Didi looks so demure meanwhile Zora is a chonk compared to when you got her haha
SylviaAlcatrazz Didi has matured so much!
Just out of curiosity, what time did you arrive and what time did you leave...would be interesting to know the amount of hours you put in daily.
jag01730 I arrived at 8.30 and left at 5.30 this day, but went home and then went out coaching I think 😊
The dun Horse must have had a real anxiety dump in the school Mim to want that water so bad lol
I just bought a pony in December and he’s on the chunky side do you have any tips for fat ponies
If it’s on grass you could consider a grazing muzzle or a slow feeder and limiting treats and if you don’t ride daily try lunging on the days you don’t ride or doing hill work or even just taking your pony on walks
You follow the TRT method? Sounds alot like it at 10:19
In 2022 my horse foul aka filly I am able to ride her
Just out of curiosity what’s the brand on his back?
Wrote this like the whole video is on Obi xD my bad
Some breeds have a brand to discourage thief's. He would be easily traced back to miri as they are impossible to remove. It is on his back so when doing ridden shows it is hidden as the look isn't "desirable".
I have a recommendation for mo, what is the best place to send info to you??
Let the child to play with everything she wants, just to avoid her to get pregnant...
Not 2 long at all 🙂
