Groundwork Guys Mini-Series Ep#4: Groundwork for Spooky Jumpers: Building Confidence Over Liverpools | Sponsored by Jug Waterers

Meg writes in about her daughter's experienced 1.25m jumper who's suddenly backing off liverpools (water jumps), and the Groundwork Guys, Tik Maynard and Nick Rivera, dig in to help rebuild his confidence from the ground up. They start where all good training starts: ruling out pain. From there, they look at what the horse is telling them through his reactions, his body, and the way he thinks about the task.

They unpack how fear can look like enthusiasm, why overjumping isn't confidence, and how the words we use, such as always, never, or tried everything can quietly shape the way we train. Then they shift gears to curiosity, showing how to help a horse investigate instead of react, using simple groundwork and obstacles to rebuild trust and calmness.

Here's what you'll learn:
• Why pain and tension need to be ruled out before training begins
• What overjumping really means and how it connects to anxiety
• How target training and draw build curiosity toward something new
• When to send instead of lead and why it is often the safer option
• Four ways to approach a Liverpool from the ground before ever riding it
• How to spot the moment curiosity replaces fear

It's a thoughtful, practical episode about turning pressure into partnership and helping a horse find the confidence to think his way through a question instead of just trying to survive it.

Thanks to the open bowl design and unique draw tube water supply system, animals can see and smell clean, fresh water. No learning how to lift flaps or push balls or float out of the way to get a drink. An animal simply places its mouth in the open pool of water in the drinking bowl and sucks up the water just as it would from a natural water hole.
