Deceptive Pole Work Exercise | It's HARD! Even at the Walk

It looked so easy... I literally started with the VERY FIRST pole exercise in the book. But I found it to be really challenging, in a good way!
I'm starting a new series based on this new book I bought, (Polework is Pilates for Horses, by Katharina Jakob, check it out!!) that's going to go through some of the easier and more challenging exercises. After this one, though, I'm not sure which will be which!!

You might find help in Philippe Karl's book 'twisted truth's of modern dressage.

Thanks! I will check it out.

And for lungeing and work in freedom before any ridden work look at Klau Ferdinand Hempfling ' Dancing with horses '. Best of luck to you. 👍🙂

@@carinegevaert3775 Cool, thanks! I love to read about all this stuff.

@@Theagingequestrian5335 yes, just bare in mind that books never give ALL the information but merely an insight. Until you go and have lessons with them, or find yourself a trainer from their schools you might become unsure, doubt the effectiveness of the exercise or do it all wrong at the worst.... The man or woman on the ground (aka your trainer) must be as clear as your mirror and be a bottomless pit of knowledge....not just a winner of cups or a judge who probably never had his arse in a saddle. Wishing you all the best.
