Thanks for posting @Tiddlypom - wish there was similar down south! Not sure what happened to the one at Quob.

There is one at tilefields in brokenhurst. I keep meaning to try it.

The horse also jumps! So I worked my way down an endless grid set at cross poles, then upprights, then oxers working on the fold and my balance over a jump.
My turn for this was yesterday! I may have squeaked with alarm when first faced with the endless grids 😳🤣.

The aim of the grid exercise is to make my seat and lower leg more secure in three point canter. Hence the hands on my head again.


I love these simulator sessions. Jen has worked intensively hands on my glutes which were super tight, and I am able to sit much more centrally and straight now. I’ve invested in Jen’s symmfit top and jodhs as they help me spot my own wonkinesses more readily.
