4 poles laid end-to-end and stepping laterally over each pole in a shallow serpentine It looks simple, but it’s one of the most effective ways to switch on the small stabilising muscles that often get overlooked. • Targets abduction adduction Each lateral step over the pole asks the limb to move slightly away from and back towards the body. That’s gold for strengthening the muscles that stabilise the hips and shoulders. Also a great start for improving your lateral work 👀 • Encourages a natural

As an equine bodyworker, I’m often asked how to correctly spaced ground poles, so the horse isn’t knocking them or tripping over them. While you CAN use a measuring tape or your feet, I find this method to be super simple and 100% accurate, every time. 1️⃣ Rake out a small portion of your arena. I use a pitch fork flipped over for this. 2️⃣ Walk your horse through and ensure you are not interfering with their natural gait. You are looking for clear hoof prints in the sand. 3️⃣ Place your walk po

In-hand polework isn’t just about *stepping over poles*—it’s about how the horse uses their body while doing it. When poles are raised off the ground, you’re impacting your horse’s body in specific ways, such as: 🦵Greater joint range of motion Raised poles encourage deeper flexion through the shoulder, elbow, hip, stifle, and hock—helping improve mobility and healthy movement patterns. ⚖️ Improved balance & coordination Your horse must slow down, organize their steps, and stabilize through each

How does pole work help to increase hind end strength in horses? 1. Encourages Hind End Engagement - Stepping over poles requires the horse to lift their legs higher than usual, activating the muscles in their hindquarters, particularly the gluteal, hamstring, and quadriceps muscles. The effort to push forward over the poles engages the hip flexors and core, promoting a stronger push from behind. 2. Promotes Proprioception and Balance - Pole work improves hind limb coordination and proprioceptio

Signs of weak stifles in horses often include: 1. Tripping or stumbling: If your horse frequently trips or seems less sure-footed, especially on uneven ground, weak stifles may be to blame. 2. Dragging hind toes: Watch for worn-down hooves or if the horse’s toes appear scraped from dragging. 3. Bunny-hopping: When cantering, some horses with weak stifles use both hind legs together, similar to a bunny-hop. 4. Difficulty with transitions: Horses with weak stifles often struggle to move smoothly f

Unless you have several horses to ride and jump often, don't underestimate the value of practice over poles on the ground. You can incorporate them daily with your flatwork with little or no impact on your horse in comparison to jumping. If you have access to cavaletti, practice over them will give you a little more feel of a jump and emphasize a distance mistake more clearly than a pole. Even a low cavaletti will be sufficient, and have minimal stress on the horse compared to jumping higher fen
