We had a play down a fab grid (pinched from Laura Collett Eventing) with some of the horses last week – this exercise is great for improving their athleticism & technique as well as sharpening up their reactions…(The raised poles are 2.5 – 2.75 yards from each jump. There is approx 11 yards distance from jump to jump so a good yard short of what it would be for a comp)

Saturday was gymnastics day for the horses at Gemma Tattersall’s yard. She worked through one of Laura Collett’s grids with the goal of “improving their athleticism & technique as well as sharpening up their reactions.”
There are three fences that are each 11 yards apart to give you a short two stride. She’s then set raised poles 2.5-2.75 yards ahead of each fence. Those ascending vees will give you a little extra pop, as well.
Happy jumping!
