VideoWe work with all levels of hunters, jumpers and equitation riders and their horses. It can be difficult setting up, adjusting, moving and tearing down jumps and courses to suit everyone’s needs. One of our solutions is schooling over a small but versatile jumping grid made up of bending lines, straight tracks and set distances. The basic grid—a single cavalletti to a bending four to a vertical-oxer-vertical combination to another bending four over a cavalletti—teaches a multitude of jumping skills.
As a rider, you can focus on strengthening your position and developing or fine-tuning your aids because the grid removes a lot of the decision-making involved in single jumps and courses, such as finding distances. Once you find your distance to the first cavalletti, you can focus on balance, length of stride and track.
