Re: groundwork vs. riding

I had to chuckle at this picture because it fits so well with my 4 horses. 
Every morning when I walk into the barn to feed, it takes about 15 seconds for
the place to sound like Niagara Falls!  Everyone of them walks to their special
part of their stall and let's loose.  Sure wish they would learn to "hold it"
until they get outdoors.
