Connected Groundwork Book 

In the book Peggy Cummings teaches you how to re-educate the movement and postural habits of your horses for long-term health and soundness.

Even before horses go under saddle, they all have some kind postural bracing patterns. These patterns can develop either in a horse’s natural environment or from general handling. Horses can even develop bracing patterns by being placed in a stall with Dutch doors that are too high! But when horses are coming through and moving freely, there is sequential movement through the spine, just like that of a caterpillar. Horse and caterpillar movement follows a constant and sequential pattern of releasing and reengaging.

Using step-by-step descriptions and illustrations, Connected Groundwork provides categories of exercises that teach the horse to readily shift their weight from front to back, base down to base up, and from side to side while consistently re-releasing the poll and the base of the neck in movement. These exercises develop the muscular, postural and movement patterns of self-carriage.
