Description
In the middle of the riding arena, 12 poles are placed in a total of 4 small squares, resulting in a large square with a cross. Depending on the length of the poles and the desired level of difficulty of the exercise, the poles can touch at the corners or be laid out with a small distance between them. With the large square of poles a variety of exercises can be ridden: For example, a sepentine line can be ridden over the poles. However, many other exercises are also possible on the large pole square, such as riding over the poles as a row of poles from all sides. The diagonal riding over corners, the integration of volts and so on.
