Necessary equipment

4 Poles 2 Cavalettis 4 Cones 1 Tarp 1 Hoop (1m in diameter) 2 Barrels

Goal(s)

The goal is to encourage the horse to become independent from its handler and to desensitize it.

Process

String together the different modules: walk the horse over a tarp, back up between ground poles, send the horse through a line of barrels without the handler, and do the same for walking over poles. Then, guide the horse to move on a small circle at a distance, positioning yourself as much as possible inside a hula hoop.
