Goal(s)
Improve the horse's balance, strengthen hindquarters engagement, work on coordination and responsiveness, enhance rider communication.
Process
1. Approach the line at a trot or canter depending on the goal (canter recommended for sequence work and impulsion).
2. Bounce Jump 1: work on coordination, balance, and responsiveness. The horse should remain straight and dynamic, without speeding up or slowing down.
3. 2 strides to the cross rail: manage the pace without allowing the horse to accelerate. The cross rail will help center the jump.
4. 2 strides after the cross rail: same principle, keep the horse energetic and balanced.
5. Bounce Jump 2: ensure the horse remains attentive and connected despite the accumulated effort, without rushing.
Finish: You can end with a straight line or turn directly after the last bounce jump to check responsiveness to seat and legs.
Difficulties
