EXERCISE 2: ADJUST HIS CANTER OVER POLES
This exercise uses two poles on the ground, set out in a straight line on a random distance. There’s no need to stride out a distance as you’re going to vary your horse’s canter stride between each pole.
Why ride it?
It’s a great way to teach your horse to shorten and lengthen his canter stride. It also helps you keep your horse between your hand and leg, while still having a good quality canter, which will improve his balance, too.
