Working on Rhythm

 Goal(s) :

Maintain rhythm with a horse that gets excited over the jumps

 Process :

The idea is to start on a circle to regularize the canter rhythm. When the horse is relaxed and calm, approach the second jump; if all goes well, return to the first jump on the other rein and perform the same exercise on this rein. When the rhythm is correct, you can then approach the third jump. The exercise can be done with jumps of different heights (crossrails, verticals, oxers)...

 Difficulties :

Exercise to be performed at the canter, which I worked on with my mare who gets very excited over the jumps, especially at the canter. The more complex part is finding the right rhythm and maintaining it.
