Ground driving is a useful training technique for trail horses and a wonderful way of exercising horses beyond walking with them. It teaches horses the essentials of becoming a good and safe riding horse and is a great preparation for riding and driving. Ground driving your horse outside is a great confidence booster for you and your horse and is a great variation of riding or walking.

Horses play an important role in almost all cultures around the world, ancient as well as modern. In mythology they are usually depicted as powerful animals, associated with the gods or the spirit realm. Shamans often used them to travel to the otherworld and they serve as symbols of power, faith or the divine. In northern mythology horses have been associated with the gods and their names and deeds recorded in the Eddas. The most famous horse is of course Odin's eight-legged Sleipnir, the best of the horses but there are many more.
