The Points

 Goal(s) :

To have a horse that is straight between the rider’s hands and legs, regardless of the obstacle.

 Process :

Ride over each point, keeping the horse as straight as possible. The aim is to have a horse that remains straight between the rider’s hands and legs, and that responds correctly to lateral aids. The exercise can be performed at all three gaits depending on the level.

 Difficulties :

The horse may try to drift sideways to avoid going directly over the point.
