Work-In-Hand vs. Liberty Work: What Actually Prepares Your Horse for Riding?

Work-in-hand might be a foreign concept to many, but here at Classical Horsemanship, it's a foundational part of how we prepare horses to carry the weight of a rider. While most groundwork today leans toward liberty training, the truth is — unless your horse naturally carries themselves in ideal posture, liberty work often reinforces existing imbalances. That’s where work-in-hand comes in. This method allows you to shape your horse’s posture from the ground, helping them build the strength, balance, and coordination they’ll need under saddle. It’s a thoughtful, effective alternative that creates long-term soundness and makes riding easier and more enjoyable for both horse and rider.
