This simple pole layout is so versatile! You can use it for really simple exercises for horses just getting started with poles and with much more advanced ones that are more challenging.
- You can do exercises for confidence, body awareness, engagement, suppleness and straightness.
- You can use it to give you and your horse some variety, novelty or focus (wondering what to do next session? Try this!).
- You can do them in-hand, at liberty, long-reining or riding (all shown).
- You only need 4 poles and can do many of the exercises in a fairly small area.
In this video, I show you a ton of different exercises you can try from simple to more advanced, and what I’m looking for in each one. And, of course, it’s all trained with positive reinforcement:
