Jump exercises

[11bluewolf]

I only have access to two jumps (2 sets of wings and a couple of poles)
Has anyone got any good exercises that I can do with these? Obviously I can just place them individually but its not giving my horse that much to think about...
time to invest in some more jumps probably!
thanks

Can do angles, get some skinny poles aka fence posts to practice accuracy

Are the wings either way or uni directional? Can you put the cups at more than one angle? 4 multi way wings with enough cups and poles - you can do quite a lot. But if they are unidirectional - I'm afraid you are stuck with only 2 jumps. Can you afford a multi way stand? Just one and you have about 12 different jump combinations

I would do some pole work exercises that will ultimately help you improve your jumping rounds.

Try four poles on a straight line set on a bounce distance, poles set at each quarter around a 20m circle, raised poles or doing a mini grid (pole, cross pole, pole - set on a bounce distance) , two poles set 5 strides apart and practice shortening and lengthening the stride while maintaining the balance and rhythm. All these are easier said than done and will highlight the weaker areas.
