#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Poles!! You can never go wrong with poles.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#A good thing to do is to set up a line, say something like a 5 stride, then you practice doing it in all different strides- 5, 4, 6- work on lengthening and shortening your horse's stride as far as you can go. It will really get the horse listening as well as develop your eye better.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#As well, you can set up a course of poles, where the good thing about poles is that you can fiddle around with striding without worrying about hitting something, knocking down something, big trips, ect. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
*God forbid I go to any heaven where there are no horses*
