Tim's Tip: Exercise #5 Help V Poles- your horse pick his legs up- avoid those knock downs!
Like 1 Dislike 0 Published on 4 Feb 2016
V Poles are a great way to help keep you and your horse in the middle of the fence, plus it will teach your horse to pick his legs up when going over poles.
Place two poles at an angle so that the tips rest on the top pole of the jump and the other end angles out- be sure not to make the angle too narrow as horses can find it off-putting.
This exercise works because the shape of the poles encourages the horse to bring his front end up more and round their body over the fence.
Why not use fillers to encourage your horse to look at the fence?
