Ground loops are caused by excessive rapid application of either brakes or rudder while the wheels are in contact with the ground. Novices tend to react violently (relatively) to off line motion. This is what causes the ground loop. Everyone talks about how flying the KR is more a thought about direction change than control stick movement. Guess what, the same is true on the ground. Do everything (rudder, brakes, and power) slow and avoid large, abrupt changes to avoid ground loops. There are little ole' grannies out there flying tail draggers because they are more efficient.
