The Knot

 Goal(s) :

Vary the stride length at the canter.

 Process :

Place three poles in a staggered formation. When passing the poles in a straight line, the stride will be shorter than when the poles are passed diagonally. The rider must therefore be able to get their horse to vary its stride length during the passes.

 Difficulties :

You can place the poles more or less at an angle to increase the distance and require a longer stride from your horse.
