subject: Show Jumping Exercises - Trotting Poles [print this page] 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!
