bounce double and grid - how many human strides?

[kombikids]

dont laugh as cant remember how many walking strides are each?!! planning to make a course tonight for new boy in preparation of seeing whether we can attempt a show on sunday. hes a 16.3 plod monster who never knows where his legs are and im a nervy mum so want to start with some easy bits! im quite tall well 5ft7 so have bigish strides!!!! thanks

As a rule it is four of your paces for one horse stride with 2 for take off and 2 for landing. So a bounce would only be four

yep, bounce would be 4 strides, once you know your horse in grids a bit better youmay want to fiddle with it. 16.3 is quite a big chap by anyones standard

 

[Jesss]

Yep,4

 

[Madam_max]

To add you can fiddle with the distances at home, but remember at a comp they will be built as standard.
