How far apart to set trotting poles for english equestrian?
I have a 14.2 hh half quarter horse and half welsh pony. I would like to do some trotting poles exercises but I don’t know how far apart the poles should be. Could you please give a distance, also I’m not going to measure to be exact so maybe how about how many steps to take in between. I’m a 15 year old girl. Thank you so much!
I ride a quarter horse, and I always put the trot poles about 3 feet apart. Try going over them at this distance first, and then you can make adjustments and take it from there.
I can’t give you an amount of steps without the chance of being inaccurate because I don’t know your stride, but i’d guess about three to four normal steps. Use a measuring tape the first time just to be sure. If not, the worst that usually happens is the horse will trip a little or hit them with their hooves.
