Once you and your horse have mastered the basic set up of trotting poles
, you can do lots more exercises to develop your riding skills in showjumping training. Like setting up the trotting poles on a curved line. The distance at one end is wider than the other end and it is your job as a rider to stay on the line that takes you through the centre of the rails. Not as easy to ride as when the trotting poles are in a straight line, that is for sure!
