Goal(s)

🎯 Educational objectives:

Work on the accuracy of transitions.

Improve the horse’s responsiveness to the aids.

Focus the rider’s attention on visual markers.

Prepare a clean and calm approach to a cavaletti.

Process

🪶 Equipment setup:

1. Two ground poles placed parallel to each other, spaced at a standard distance (about 1.20 m to 1.50 m depending on the size of the horse/pony).

2. About 1 meter after the poles, place two cones parallel to each other to create a visual marker (like a gate).

3. After the cones, place a cavaletti on the center line.

🐎 Exercise procedure:

1. Before the poles, make a transition to halt (from walk or trot).

2. Just in front of the poles, ask for a transition to trot.

3. At the end of the poles, ask for a transition to walk.

4. After the cones, ask for trot again to approach and jump the cavaletti.

Difficulties

Correctly ask for transitions by applying the aids properly.
