Find your next riding exercise

The problem is never a shortage of ideas — they are everywhere. The problem is finding an exercise you can actually do with the horse you ride, the ground you have and whatever equipment is lying at the edge of the arena.

That is exactly what our search filters do:

• The discipline: dressage, show jumping, groundwork, lungeing, equifeel, mountain trail and many more
• The level: beginner, intermediate or advanced, with the difficulty stated on every sheet
• The working area: arena, lungeing ring, field or out hacking
• The equipment: poles, cavalettis, wings, cones, equifeel props — from none to fifteen, you only get what matches what you own. No more frustration, and no more head-scratching to adapt an exercise to what you have.

Combine those four criteria and you get a tailored selection rather than a catalog to sift through. Add the exercises you like to your favorites and they stay within reach for your next sessions.

Every exercise comes as a sheet, built to be followed at the edge of the arena with your phone in hand.

• A diagram so you can see the pattern, the movements and the set-up to build before you get in the saddle.
• A summary — session type, space needed, equipment required — so you know in three seconds whether the exercise is doable today.
• A three-part walkthrough: the goals being worked, the exercise step by step, and the difficulties you may run into.

That last part matters most when you ride without a coach: nobody at the arena rail to tell you why the horse rushes through the line, but the answer is written down.

Getting the spacing between poles wrong is one of the classic reasons a jumping session falls apart. Our automatic distance calculator gives you the spacing to aim for — an estimate — based on your horse's size and the gait you are working: approaches, strides, fences, ground poles. Enough to help you set your grid up right.

Looking for a course idea for jumping? Would you rather build up gradually and start with a ground pole or cavalletti exercise? Our exercise sheets cover both.

Groundwork and lungeing let you keep progressing on the days you do not ride, or with a horse coming back into work. Equifeel and mountain trail build confidence and handiness — useful well beyond their own disciplines.

Whatever your goal, the idea stays the same: we give you the ingredients, you put the session together.
