The Clover Course

 Goal(s) :

Improve straightness over fences, the number of flying changes over the jump, and canter bend.

 Process :

Approach the first combination (set on 3 strides as a guideline, but you can adjust it to suit your horse) shown on the diagram below on the right rein. Ask for a flying change over the fence. Then ride a tight left turn to the next fence and repeat the same pattern over all the fences of the cloverleaf. Finally, canter a full loop around the clover, then ride the second combination (also set on 3 strides) and finish on the right lead.

 Difficulties :

Riding accurate turns between each fence of the cloverleaf while keeping the horse balanced.
