Why use poles?
The exercises help the rider to ride with precision, improving the horse’s way of going and establishing correct training according to the Scales of training, namely Rhythm, Suppleness, Contact, Impulsion, Straightness and Collection.
Try the exercises for yourself and I’m sure you will be amazed at the improvements that can be made, both in your riding technique and in your horse’s way of going. You will never be bored with schooling again!
This book and DVD explain what the scales of training are and how to use them whether the rider wishes to concentrate on dressage, jumping or eventing. Exercises are given to help to develop the horse’s natural ability and to improve the rider’s understanding of the horse’s educational needs.
