polework

CAVALETTI
Popular with eventing, dressage and show jump trainers alike, Cavaletti involves completing canter work over small (upto 50cm) upright fences on various lines. Cavaletti is designed to improve rhythm, coordination and cadence in the horse and is really good for any rider up for leaving the ground over these poles!
MINI JUMPING
