Pole work encourages your horse to become more rhythmic and balanced, while adding a little interest to your flatwork. It also helps you develop and improve your own eye, timing and balance, as a rider. Many people think pole work is just for those who jump their horses, but it has benefits for horses in all disciplines.

Pole work is also very helpful when it comes to strengthening your horse, particularly through the hind end. Pole work is useful for horses coming off of injuries, building fitness or strengthening specific areas of the body such as the stifles.
