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.

Lifetime Access & How It Works

This is a one-time purchase. You get:

  • Instant download (PDF + printables)

  • Lifetime access

  • Print as many copies as you want

  • Bring it to the barn, mark it up, hang the safety cards in the tack room

No subscription.

No app.

No recurring charge.

Just a 14-day groundwork protocol designed to keep you safe and in control on the lead.

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 riders who love their horse but don’t always feel safe on the ground.

The scary part isn’t jumping, it’s getting dragged to turnout, shoved at the gate, or crowded in the aisle with no one there to help.

CALM & CONTROL™ is a clear 14-day groundwork protocol you can print and take to the barn, so you can handle a reactive or anxious horse with calm, respectful control, even if you don’t have a trainer on call.

Got Questions? We’ve Got You Covered.

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

You get the full 14-day groundwork protocol, printable Daily Action Sheets for each day, the Barn Safety deck (what to do if your horse bolts / rushes / crowds you), the Stress & Body Language guide, and a Progress & Confidence tracker. It’s all digital, instant download, print-ready.

Will this help if my horse drags me / rushes past me at the gate?

Yes. That’s the main problem this was built for. The protocol shows you exactly where to stand, what to ask, and how to stop the “rush past you” behavior so you’re not just hanging on and hoping.

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

Yes. That’s the point. Every day has clear step-by-step instructions (“Do this for 5 minutes,” “Stop if you see this sign”). You don’t need to guess or “be tougher.” You follow the sheet for that day.

Is this about riding or groundwork?

Groundwork only. You don’t need to get in the saddle. This is about safe, respectful handling on the lead: walking to turnout, standing at the gate, moving your horse’s body without getting shoved or crowded.

Is it safe for beginners?

It’s designed for nervous riders and owners who feel overwhelmed on the ground. The Barn Safety emergency cards tell you exactly what to do if your horse bolts, panics, or pushes into you — in the moment, not after.

How fast will I see a difference?

Most riders report more space and less pulling within the first few days, because the horse stops rushing through them. Full protocol is 14 days. You keep lifetime access and can repeat it any time.
