STRENGTHEN YOUR HORSE WITH CAPRILLI is for you who want new fun challenges in your riding.
12 courses suitable for all levels and disciplines. In each course, dressage exercises are mixed with cavaletti series and grid work or small jumps. You get to practice transitions, halts, back up, leg yielding, pole series in all gaits, jumping combinations, slalom, serpentines, bounces, being in control before and after obstacles, and much more.
All courses are suitable for group training, as the route never crosses.
CREATIVE COURSES FOR WALK & TROT features 12 pole and cone patterns, divided into 6 courses, each with an easier and a more advanced option. The easier patterns are suitable for children, young horses, and riders who want to practice the basics of walk and trot in a fun way. The more advanced patterns include additional dressage & trail elements and are ideal for those looking for variety and new challenges in their pole work.
CREATIVE COURSES FOR GROUNDWORK & LIBERTY is for you who want to have fun from the ground! 12 patterns divided into 6 courses, each with two options. One option is for those who want to walk with their horse, while the other includes lunging and sending exercises. Both options are suitable for training using equipment or at liberty. You can also long-rein or ride through the courses.
TRAIL COURSES USING 10 POLES add extra variety and fun to your arena sessions. In addition to regular pole work, a trail course can include other challenges such as crossing a bridge, passing through a gate, and backing through obstacles.
Trail is a class within the western riding discipline. However, you do not need to ride western to benefit from these kinds of obstacles. Training trail can greatly develop your skills as a rider, no matter which discipline you normally identify with. Trail challenges your precision in transitions and lines, improves your awareness of exactly where each hoof is placed, and refines how you influence your horse with minimal aids.
Your horse will develop better balance, body awareness, coordination,
courage, and the ability to solve challenges together with you.

In this ebook, you will find 12 different patterns using 10 poles or fewer. The level of difficulty varies somewhat, but always with the average rider in mind. The patterns include all gaits (walk, trot, and canter), butΒ can also be performed in a simpler way using only walk and trot.
POLE WORK for CANTER & TROTΒ Volume 1-3 help you develop your canter work with 36 fun and challenging pole patterns.
All exercises are without change of rein, so you don’t need to know how to change lead. That way, you can concentrate fully on one canter at a time. All exercises, of course, can be ridden to both the left and the right.
The exercises are made so that you can ride them at a canter regardless of the stride length of your horse/pony. By putting the pole figure tight or spread out, you also get different levels of difficulty.
Each E-book contains 4 figures with 3 different exercises in each figure. Being able to ride alternative routes in the same figure is very practical, since you wonβt have to dismount to re-arrange the poles during the training.
BACK-THROUGH OBSTACLES is for you who are used to the common back-through obstacles such as the L, and would love to get some new challenges.Β Β
Some of the exercises can be done on the same obstacle. Being able to ride alternative routes in the same figure is very practical, since you do not have to dismount to re-arrange the poles during the training.
Regardless of discipline, back-up obstacles are both very useful and fun. It trains your and the horse’s composure, to just move one small step at a time and to do it strategically. The horse develops his body awareness, and you learn how small changes in your seat affect the horse.
If you are a trail show rider, this E-book will be a true gem! It contains different and somewhat unusual back-through obstacles with both poles and cones.

I find the exercise extremely helpful in elasticity, communication and strength and balance of the horse. It is difficult for him to keep the trot since he is just coming back after an injury but the exercises also help to calm him down. Great stuff.
We love the versatility of the exercises from The Two-Pole Training Guide.
It’s incredible how much you can do with just two poles. What I find super practical is, that once you’ve set up a figure, there are various ways to ride it. As you can see in the photo, he also enjoys practicing the “A Quarter of a Clock” exercise on his own.
