Part Two of Four Videos: TROTTING OVER POLES TO THE LEFT
Welcome back to my channel guys! Cody and I appreciate you being here and supporting our channel.
Today's video is a series of 4 videos that I filmed with Cody walking, trotting and loping ground poles on a lunge line. My focus with Cody is to build his topline and strengthen his core after a long winter of hit and miss riding and working him.
He has lost a little weight, like 70 pounds, over the winter and I want him to gain his weight by combining an excellent feeding program and conditioning program. Cody is 21 years old and I believe that his age is contributing with a little loss of topline and core strength, but I also believe that with the right feeding and exercise program, I can help him maintain his performance in the show ring.
So, without further ado, let's get started with our first video! Enjoy
Walk/Trot Poles Spacing: 28" to 32" apart. You can do this by using your feet, toe heel, toe heel. Ideal spacing is when your horse only trots one foot in between each pole. If he can trot 2 trot steps in between, then your poles are too far apart.
Thanks for watching guys!
