Pony Stations - Groundwork Checklists for All Levels
Seven simple, methodical checklists to help you work through essential groundwork while learning to think like a horse trainer.
Designed to be common sense—but better—these checklists help you remember the little steps that make a big difference when gentling a horse and working through everyday challenges.
Stations cover things like the tarp, ball, bridle, saddle, stick and string, bridge, hula hoop, and more.
Rather than simply telling you what to do, Pony Stations encourage you to observe, think, problem-solve, and adapt to the horse in front of you. This structured approach builds calmer, more confident horses while teaching you skills you can use in countless situations.
Perfect for kids, adults, beginners, and experienced riders, Pony Stations are designed to work with both English and Western horses.
Simple tools. Thoughtful training. Better horsemanship.
Train on Your Own, With Support When You Need It
Pony Stations are designed to be practical, affordable, and easy to use on your own. Give it a try, work through the checklists, and see what you and your horse can figure out together.
And when you get stuck, we’re here to help.
You can:
Send us videos of your training for feedback.
Schedule a video chat lesson so we can coach you and your horse in real time.
Set up a phone consultation when you just need to talk through a problem.
Use a Pivo for a live video lesson and get coaching as you work.
You can also join our live online group classes for weekly coaching, feedback, and support from an instructor and other horse-loving riders.
The idea is simple: try it yourself first, and get help when you need it. You don’t have to pay for a traditional private lesson every time you have a question or get stuck.
It’s a flexible, affordable way to keep learning, keep training, and keep making progress with your horse.
