In hand and Ridden Pole Work Programme

Are you looking to change up your horses routine? Want to give them better variety, whist still gain the benefit? This unique programme alternates between 1 ridden and 1 in hand exercise to help develop your horses strength, suppleness and reactions. It also includes some video examples of both in hand and ridden exercises. Having personally seen the improvements in my own horses by including regular pole work in their work regime, I thought that this may benefit others out there aiming to give their horse and all round strength and conditioning alongside their normal schooling sessions. All the distances are listed for each exercise but do adjust them to suit your horse and only raise them if you are ready! Any part of this programme can be repeated or completed in your own time, so if you are finding something difficult, just repeat that week until you are confident.
