What’s Inside the CalmRider Groundwork System

Everything you need to get calm, safe control on the lead, in just 14 days

This isn’t just a “PDF.”

You’re getting a complete, printable groundwork protocol for reactive horses: daily step-by-step handling plans, emergency response cards for when things go wrong, stress signals you can’t afford to miss, and a progress tracker so you can actually see your confidence come back.

Take it to the barn. Follow it day by day. No trainer required.

CALM & CONTROL: 14-Day Groundwork Protocol

Your full 14-day safety plan for handling a reactive or pushy horse on the ground — without getting dragged, rushed, or crowded.

Each day builds calm, respect, and personal space so your horse learns to slow down and actually listen.

This is the core program you follow from Day 1 to Day 14.

Key outcomes:

  • Safe control on the lead

  • No more getting yanked at the gate

  • Your horse stops walking through you

Print it. Bring it to the barn. Follow it exactly.

Daily Action Sheets (Day 1 → Day 14)

No guessing, no “what do I do today?”

Each Daily Action Sheet tells you:

  • Where to stand

  • What to ask

  • How long to work

  • When to stop before it turns unsafe

It’s literally “Do this today for 10 minutes.”

Perfect if you don’t have a trainer watching you, or if you freeze under pressure.

FREE BONUS: Barn Safety Deck (Emergency Cards)

These are printable crisis cards for real-world “oh no” moments.

You get step-by-step cards for:

  • If your horse bolts

  • If your horse shoves into you / crowds you

  • If your horse panics in a new space

  • If your horse starts rushing past you at the gate

You keep them in the barn so you don’t have to remember what to do while you’re scared.

This is the “don’t get hurt” layer that most trainers never actually give you in writing.

FREE BONUS: Reading Your Horse

You’ll finally know what your horse is telling you before it becomes dangerous.

This cheat sheet shows:

  • Early stress signals you can’t ignore

  • When your horse is getting mentally overloaded

  • When to back off and reset before they explode

Most handlers wait until the horse is already blowing up.

This helps you defuse the situation before it gets scary.

FREE BONUS: Progress & Confidence Tracker

This is not just for the horse, it’s for you.

You log:

  • Did I feel safe today?

  • Did my horse respect my space today?

  • Did I have to fight or did he soften?

After a week you can literally SEE “I’m getting calmer, and he’s getting calmer with me.”

That feeling is huge, especially if you’ve been nervous or embarrassed at the barn.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Rated 4.9/5 by 1,200+ Horse Owners Handling Reactive Horses

Here’s what some of them are saying…

Why CalmRider™ Exists

We’re here for riders who don’t always feel safe on the ground

Hi, I’m Sarah, founder of CalmRider™

I created CalmRider™ for every rider who’s ever felt tension, fear, or uncertainty when handling their horse on the ground, whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been riding for years.

Because the real danger often isn’t in the saddle,

it’s on the lead rope.

When your horse bolts to turnout, rushes the gate, or crowds your space with no one around to help… that’s when safety matters most.

CALM & CONTROL™ is a printable 14-day groundwork protocol that gives you calm, structured control, with step-by-step exercises, barn safety cards, and real-life tools designed to help both riders and instructors handle anxious or reactive horses with confidence.

Got Questions? We’ve Got You Covered.

What exactly do I get when I buy CALM & CONTROL™?

You get the complete 14-day Groundwork Protocol, a structured system to build safety and respect from the ground. It includes:

• Daily Action Sheets (1 per day)

• Printable Barn Safety Cards (for bolting, rushing, crowding)

• Behavior cheat sheets & body language signals

• A Progress + Confidence Tracker

It’s fully digital, print-ready, and available for instant download.

Will this help if my horse drags me or rushes the gate?

Yes, that’s exactly what it was built for.

This protocol shows you where to stand, what to ask, and how to prevent those “rush through you” moments. You’ll stop just reacting, and start leading with calm authority.

I don’t have a trainer. Can I actually do this alone?

Yes, the protocol was built so you can follow it step by step, even if you’re on your own.

Each day includes clear instructions, safety pauses, and visual behavior cues so you know exactly what to do, no guesswork, no “toughing it out.”

It’s designed for everyday riders, but it’s also used by professionals as a structured tool for students and green horses.

Is this about riding or groundwork?

Groundwork only.

You’ll never be asked to ride.

CALM & CONTROL™ focuses entirely on leading your horse safely on the ground, turnout walks, gate handling, moving your horse respectfully without being crowded or dragged.

Is it safe for beginners or nervous riders?

Absolutely. It was made for people who feel overwhelmed, unsafe, or alone when handling a horse from the ground.

The Barn Safety Cards tell you exactly what to do in the moment if your horse bolts, panics, or charges your space.

Not theory, real-time decision tools.

How fast will I see a difference?

Many riders report more space and less pulling in just a few days, often because the horse starts listening instead of rushing.

But this isn’t a quick fix. It’s a full 14-day system you can repeat anytime, and keep forever.

Even if my horse is calm now — should I still use it?

Yes, because calm isn’t guaranteed.

Even the quietest horses can spook, bolt, or crowd when something triggers them.

This isn’t just for “problem horses”, it’s preventive groundwork safety every rider should know.

Like a helmet for your hands, not just your head.
