Description
Any horse can be taught to stand (Yes, even your horse!) You just need a reliable method for teaching him that skill. Once you’ve trained this skill, every other skill you are working on will become much easier to teach.
That’s because this training does far more than teach you how to get your horse to stand respectfully and reliably. It teaches you how to get your horse’s attention and keep it. That skill carries over into all of the horse’s training no matter what it is that you do with your horse.
For Drivers, Riders, and Even Pasture Ornaments
It doesn’t matter what your activity of choice is with your horse. This training will improve his ground manners and trainability (even if that just means being respectful on the ground.)
If you haven’t taken this course, you owe it to yourself and your horse to sign up. You’ll be able to get your horse to stand “stock still” without holding him. There’s no special equipment required or gimmicky training aids. You can do this training with just a rope and a halter of your choice.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this class! Been driving for 20 years, and this has made all aspects of driving much better. Used this all winter getting a new horse ready to drive this Spring. Reviewed Stand with older, experienced horses. Andy is a GENIUS at making the Stand possible for even the most forward horse. Not boring at all, because you see the results with each exercise.

I can’t figure out how to leave a 5 star rating, but this definitely deserves one.

This is really a truly amazing thing to teach your horse to stand still. I have a little mare in harness that was very good at moving – so I got in contact with Andy and followed the instructions here. Now I must admit that I have done some ground work with rivers before.. but just keep at it. Keep putting there feet back in the box. It just becomes a habbit to make sure there feet are where they are supposed to be. The last session we had I got to unclip her in her full harness ( no carriage as yet ) standing at her post and we stood there for a good 2 minutes before heading off down the road long reining. If she tired to move I put her back… tun into those feet… and it is paying off. yes it is tedious.. but it WORKS… keep at it and see how you go. Lyn Parkinson.
