Beginner and intermediate riders sometimes find this exercise much harder than simply cantering two jumps on a straight line, where there is only one correct track to ride. Bending lines present a variety of challenges for different levels of riders and horses. When the straight line is going well, canter the bending line. Repeating this exercise is a good way to help develop those qualities. Instead, you need to rely on rhythm and balance. However, you cannot look for a distance when trotting two poles on the ground or a pole to a crossrail because the distance is predetermined.
Riders are programmed to look for distances to jumps.
Trotting the simple two-pole (or pole-to-crossrail) gymnastic is a great exercise for riders and horses of all levels. For more advanced riders, you can leave some or all of the jumps without ground lines. Help less experienced horses and riders judge the takeoffs by adding ground lines on both sides of the jumps. To create lines that are jumpable from either direction, make your oxers square. Ponies can always add a stride if needed.īecause this setup is meant to be versatile, the jumps can be set to approach from either way, depending on which part of the course you’re working on. On the other hand, if you’re too slow to the jumps, you have to chase-and generally adjustments are much more severe. If you can jump out of a medium stride, moving up or waiting is subtle. This will help them learn to solve questions in the show ring. Instead, I want to teach horses and riders to adapt to the striding as set. I don’t change the distances for different horses or fence heights. If your ring is too small to fit these lines, you can decrease the distances in 12-foot increments.
