AKA things you can do with poles! For your obstacle course, that is.
Here are some things I have seen over the past few weeks that I wanted to share with you, all ways to use ground poles in your lessons.
Ground Pole Patterns
(Note the nifty blog reference in the image. I am getting fancy!)
Enjoy! May this not remind you of Christmas too much.

Wonderful ideas… I was getting low on new ways to use pole… also love the “special” colours!! 🙂
What are your measurements between poles?
Love to find new ideas but measurements never included in these patterns help with strides.
Hello! I didn’t include the measurements because it was a quick inspirational post, plus it depends on what gait you are in, and with therapeutic riding it also depends on the rider’s ability and balance for how far apart you will space things. I’m probably annoying in that I just eyeball things based on my particular rider and horse. I’m sorry to make things difficult! I’m sure there’s spacing for each of these out there on Google!
Great ideas! I love the half circle in the bottom corner.
