"I’ve taken clinics, watched videos, tried every ‘fix’ under the sun… nothing clicked until this. The groundwork made my gelding lighten up, soften, and stop bracing into the turns. Our rides finally feel smooth instead of stressful."

You don’t need it. Before the Turn takes just 10 minutes a day and fits right into your normal riding routine. No hours loping circles, no exhausting drills — just quick, proven groundwork that makes every ride smoother, more focused, and more controlled going into the pattern.
❌
What if I've never done Groundwork before?
Perfect. This program was built for real, everyday barrel racers. You’ll get clear, step-by-step guidance that shows exactly what to do, how to do it, and why it works so your horse becomes more respectful, responsive, and mentally dialed-in.

What if my horse is too hot, too pushy, or too stubborn?
That’s exactly who this program is for. Before the Turn teaches your barrel horse focus, rate, softness, and respect from the ground up — so they walk into every ride calm, connected, and ready to listen, instead of bracing, rushing, or blowing through your cues

What You'll Learn In This Course
1-2-3 Groundwork
✅ 1. Soften Laterally
Build flexibility and connection through lateral softness — the foundation for all balanced movement.
✅ 2. Move the Hindquarters
Gain control and precision as your horse learns to step under and engage power from behind.
✅ 3. Soften to a Stop
After creating movement, learn to stop with feel — maintaining softness without pulling or creating stiffness.
✅ 4. Move the Shoulders
Develop higher levels of directional control, softness, and respect by freeing up your horse’s shoulders.
1-2-3-4 with Movement
✅ 1. Move Softly on the Circle
Teach your horse to stay soft, forward, and balanced while moving around you on the circle — without drifting, bracing, or losing connection.
✅ 2. Change Directions With Control
Learn to change directions smoothly while maintaining bend, balance, and respect. You’ll also teach your horse how to stay mentally with you through every transition.
✅ 3. Add Speed & Transitions
Introduce controlled speed changes from the ground so your horse learns to stay soft and responsive — even as energy increases.
Take it to the Saddle
✅ 1. Transfer Groundwork to the Saddle
Learn exactly how to take the softness, focus, and body control you built on the ground and apply it directly to your ride — so your horse understands the same cues in both places.
✅ 2. Create Cadence and Forward With Feel
Use these steps to develop steady rhythm, balanced movement, and smooth forward motion, giving your horse the cadence they need to stay consistent and connected.
✅ 3. Build Softness Through Every Task
Ask for softness in the face, body, and feet while moving — helping your barrel horse stay light, responsive, and willing instead of braced or resistant.
✅ 4. Work Through Anxiety Under Saddle
Use the 1-2-3-4 system to defuse tension, manage nerves, and settle your horse’s mind when they get tight or worried — creating calmer, safer, more focused rides.
Take it to the Barrel
✅ 1. Ride the Barrel at All Three Gaits
Learn how to confidently apply the 1-2-3-4 groundwork system while walking, trotting, and loping around the barrel so your horse stays soft, balanced, and mentally connected through every gait.
✅ 2. Create Optimal Shape and Body Control
Teach your horse the correct shape around the barrel — lifted shoulder, engaged hind end, and soft ribcage — and help them stay accountable for maintaining that shape without constant micromanagement.
✅ 3. Fix Imbalances and Build Consistency
Use these exercises to smooth out drifting, dropping shoulders, leaning, or overbending. You’ll develop a horse that moves correctly, confidently, and consistently around the barrel every time.
✅ 4. Work Through Anxiety and Mental Tension
These drills help both horse and rider work through nerves, tightness, and worry around the barrel, creating a calmer, more relaxed, and more focused approach to every turn.

What's Included In Before the Turn?
Meet Your Instructor
Barrel Horse Trainer • Clinician • Groundwork Specialist
For over a decade, Jennifer Ballard has been helping riders fix the problems that show up before they ever get to the first barrel.
She’s trained, patterned, and coached hundreds of barrel horses — from green colts to futurity prospects — and one thing has always stayed true: the issues you fight in the arena start on the ground.
Through years of real-world training, hauling, seasoning, and coaching riders of all levels, Jennifer developed a simple, reliable groundwork system that creates:
✅ Horses that rate instead of rush
✅ Horses that stay soft, focused, and responsive
✅ Horses that listen the first time
✅ Riders who finally feel confident and in control
And she built Before the Turn to give everyday barrel racers the tools most people never get unless they’re riding with a trainer full-time.
This is the program Jennifer uses in her own training barn — the same techniques she uses to calm hot horses, fix bracing and blowing through cues, and help riders feel safer, more connected, and more successful in the pattern.
If you want a better ride, a more rideable horse, and a routine that actually fits your life, you’re in the right place.
Jennifer will show you exactly what to do, why it works, and how to get real results in just 10 minutes a day.
Start today and discover how just 10 minutes of groundwork can transform your horse’s focus, respect, and rideability — before you ever pick up the reins.
👉 Join Before the Turn now for only $49 — lifetime access included.
Who Is This Course For?
✅ Barrel racers who want more control, confidence, and consistency
If your horse feels different every ride — calm one day, scattered the next — this program gives you a simple routine that creates predictable, focused rides every time.
✅ Riders struggling with rushing, bracing, or blowing through cues
If your horse charges the pattern, ignores your rate, drops a shoulder, or gets tight and reactive… this is the groundwork that fixes the root of those issues, not just the symptoms.
✅ Riders who want a safer, calmer, more rideable horse
If you’ve ever felt nervous, out of control, or unsure, you’ll love how quickly 10 minutes of groundwork changes your horse’s attention, softness, and willingness.
✅ Anyone whose horse is hot, pushy, unfocused, or “too much”
This program was built for the horses who can’t stand still, don’t listen, drag you around, or mentally fall apart before you ever hit the first barrel.
This is where they learn to slow down, think, and connect.
What Categories Do We Focus On?
Building Calm & Confidence – Learn how to quiet anxiety, reduce tension, and create a relaxed partnership—so both you and your horse start every ride focused and in control.
Groundwork Fundamentals – Step-by-step exercises that build respect, responsiveness, and rhythm from the ground up, preparing your horse to listen the moment you get in the saddle.
Understanding Your Horse – Discover how to read your horse’s body language, recognize stress before it becomes resistance, and build lasting trust through clear, consistent communication.
Pre-Ride Connection & Control – Simple, proven groundwork sequences that eliminate rushing, bracing, and distraction—so your rides begin soft, balanced, and responsive.
Lasting Results – A 30-day structure designed to create habits that stick. You’ll build a calm, connected horse and the confidence to maintain it for life.
And So Much More… – From timing and feel to emotional balance and focus, you’ll gain the skills to transform your horse—and your horsemanship—before you ever reach the fence.
Who Is This Course NOT For?
❌ Riders looking for a quick fix without putting in the work
If you want your horse to magically stop rushing, rating poorly, or blowing past the first barrel without making small, consistent changes… this isn’t that.
This is for riders who can commit to 10 focused minutes a day.
❌ People who won’t be consistent
You don’t need hours a day — you just need 10 minutes.
But if even that feels like too much, you won’t get the transformation this system delivers.
❌ Anyone uninterested in improving their horse’s softness, rate, or focus
If you prefer muscling through rides or relying on bigger bits, stronger cues, or “just run them through,” this isn’t your style.
This program is for riders who want a horse that thinks, listens, and connects.
Frequently Asked Questions
