Walk an Equestrian Challenge Course on Foot

"The first thing we'll do is go over the course that I started out with. To start out with we have simple ground poles in the places where our jumps will eventually go. I set this line as an easy riding, three stride line, and it's about forty six feet. We can use these warming up cantering as well as trotting. Over here, we have a set of trotting poles set about four to four and one half feet apart. This is a nice way to just set your horse up to working through a set of obstacles. Over here, we have what will be just a basic jump, but right now it's just a ground pole. Once again, we wanted to start really small and allow our horses to work through each obstacle before we make it a jump."
