Gymnastic jumping exercises are beneficial for both horse and rider. For myself, this exercise helps my eye, position, and straightness. For the horse, it improves flexibility, strength, and coordination. I like putting the trot poles in first, to make them be patient for the cross rail, then build up to a vertical, and lastly an oxer :) you can put a two stride in there as well. #schoolingsecrets Horse Jumping Exercises, Riding Ideas, Jumping Exercises, Horse Training Exercises, Horse Lessons, Horse Exercises, Cai Sălbatici, Horse Riding Tips, Horse Training Tips

Contact, to the average rider, seems to refer only to the contact through the rein, but really, contact is communication with your horse and the rein is just one form of that communication. There are a couple of other points of contact, being your hips and seat, your legs through your thigh and calf, and your heel and foot.

Nina Gill on Instagram: "Now, I’m definitely someone who likes using lots of poles for my whole layout in my polework clinics, but the majority of the exercises we do are actually made up of just a few poles, so I need my layout to break down into lots of smaller exercises like the one you can see here!  You can see how the trot becomes far more elevated, the joints in the legs bend more and the range of motion increases as the horse goes over the poles in comparison to how the trot is both before and after the poles! As the poles are set on a bending line you will also get better hind leg engagement and it will also help the horses bend when ridden correctly ( it definitely isn’t a magic fix unfortunately!)  I’ve also got a few other bending and turning lines on my grid so go check them o Diy Pole Bending Poles, How To Trot On A Horse, Pole Work Exercises For Horses, Ground Pole Exercises Horses, Horse Pole Exercises, Polework Exercises Horse, Pole Bending, Horse Exercises, Workout At Work
