My pony is starting to be lazy with his feet so I'm going to do some grid work with him, what will be the correct striding for bounces, doubles etc? He's 13hh. Thanks
If you set your poles out for trot strides, just so the pony will trot forwards through them comfortable then you can remove every other one to find a comfortable distance to canter over. It would help if you got someone experienced to help you as there is no set distance for a pony as their strides vary drastically. Someone on the ground with a good eye for strides will be able to advise far better. Some lessons with a jumping trainer would really help, they can give you an opinion as to why the pony is knocking jumps too, and give you homework to do to improve his way of going.
