A Manual of Pole and Gridwork Exercises  (Book 1)
From Gridwork to the Show-Jumping Ring (Book 2)

These Manuals are unique in their design. Whether an experienced horse/rider partnership or working at novice level, using them together with the Progress Sheets (see downloads), enables a reader to build a fully structured, progressive training programme.

  • All pages are laminated making them weather resistant. They can be removed from the A4 ringbinder and taken outside for easy reference. If a page is left out in the rain or dropped to the ground, it will simply wipe clean! The file itself can also be left outside as it is made of polypropylene.
  • Both Manuals are full of exercises, explanations, information and tips designed to educate both horse and rider and improve overall performance.
  • Each set of exercises includes:
    • an introduction
    • a guide to building suitable distances between fences
    • preparing for and riding the exercise
    • useful information and hints.

To enable a reader to build an exercise, every diagram details individual distances for Horses, 148cm (14.2hh), 138cm, (13.2hh) and 128cm (12.2hh) ponies. To measure these distances a tape measure can be purchased along with the book(s).

  • Support Pages are packed with information on preparation, warm up and everything you will need to know to carry out a training session successfully.
  • Explanation Pages give a comprehensive list of commonly used terms.
  • Progress sheets for each manual can be printed from the download tab above to enable you to track your progress and record comments for future sessions.

A calendar is also available for download to plan ahead for shows, training, etc.
