I want to incorporate some weekly pole work into G's schooling to try and keep it interesting.

He's 15hh, what's the correct distance of/between the poles?

Yes I'm a numpty :D
 
about 4'6" for him but so you don't need to get the tape measure out.
Step one foot heel to toe, for five steps and that is about right. :D
 
As a rough guide, 90cm apart for walk poles, trot poles 1.25m and canter poles 3m apart, but obviously it will vary slightly depending your horses stride.
