Easy and Balanced Approaches

 Goal(s) :

The horse will settle into the ground poles, and this repetition will help him develop a regular stride followed by an easy jump. This setup will require riders to become invisible and simply feel the sensations of a good approach, maintaining the balance of the canter.

 Process :

Specific warm-up: Start by warming up over a vertical to get the horse and rider combination ready, then use only two ground poles so the pair can find the right canter. Once this is performed smoothly:
Main exercise: String together the ground poles followed by the vertical. If this is too easy, raise the vertical slightly and finish with an oxer.

 Difficulties :

The rider must remain neutral, becoming invisible once entering the exercise setup.
