Pole work for precision and an alert rider

A demanding pole layout that tests straightness, rider alertness and accurate approaches.

A demanding exercise for precision and control. The pole layout allows for many versions and combinations, and each one tests the horse’s straightness, the rider’s alertness and the accuracy of the approaches. In the video: Natalia with Precel and Kamila with Gandalf.

Tips

  • Look far ahead. Your eyes lead the line.
  • Plan the next approach before you finish the current one.
  • Don’t be afraid to slow down: slower and accurate beats fast and crooked.

Enjoy your training!
