Good jumping exercises

[Redrocketsxoxo]

Does anybody know any good, fun or interesting jumping exercises for a 20x40m school and also some good pole work exercises to keep my pony's mind working so she doesnt get bored as shes easily distracted.

Put a low jump at each marker on the school then work in small circles over each one at trot then canter you should be abe to canter them easily but if you struggle put the poles on the floor to start then up one end be good if you had buckets or small stands to the inside of the school. Of course you could use a bounce grid if you have enough space and poles of up to 5 jumps

It depends on what your aims for the session are really as to the best exercises you can use.

I like grids for getting them thinking, steadying and lifting the front end.

Jumps on a figure of 8 and off set diagonals for accuracy.

Poles on the ground at measured distances for rhythm.
