Description
For this exercise 4 poles are needed, which are laid out in a star shape on the center circle. After riding over each pole, a volt is ridden to the outside. Then ride in a straight line over the next pole, into the next volt and so on.
Tips and hints
If the horse can still be placed and bent correctly in the volt, more voltes can be added at the same place. Then the horse can be taken out of the bend and ridden straight over the bar. Ideally, the horse should maintain tempo, rhythm and contact without any further influence over the bar. The exercise is suitable for walk and trot.
