9 Poles 0 Cavaletti 2 Stands

Goal(s)

Work on the horse's straightness with a steady rhythm and practice close transitions.

Process

Approach at a working trot over the 3 ground poles, then transition to canter 1 stride before the next ground pole, then jump the obstacle and 1 ground pole 1 stride after, finally return to trot 1 stride after the ground pole to pass the 3 ground poles at trot. It's possible to start with just one pole at the end, then 2, then 3, and widen them if the trot is too fast, then narrow them back to the same distance as the initial 3 trot poles. Option to substitute walk for trot and trot for canter, or do walk/canter for more experienced riders.

Difficulties

Maintain a horse with impulsion, straightness, and the same rhythm, and successfully bring the horse back to the higher gait quickly after the obstacle.
