What’s in Your Ring? is an EN series sponsored by Attwood Equestrian Surfaces in which riders share their favorite jumping exercises. It’s easy to get stuck in a training rut, and we hope this will inspire you with fresh ideas that you can take home and incorporate into your own programs.
Ground poles are a super way to keep your winter indoor work interesting as well as leg up for the upcoming season. Whether you set up trot or canter ground poles, they are a low impact way to build your horse’s strength, improve his gaits and tune up your own eye for distances.
Tristan the Wonder Horse is a pro at ground poles (check out more of his amazing footwork on YouTube). In his latest video, Tristan demonstrates a relatively simple trot work exercise that is easy to set up and adjust for any sized arena. Enjoy!
