My go-to ideas are
- 3 loop serpentines riding a circle on each of the loops.
- riding a test to focus your mind. I use intro A or B as my warmup usually.
- Setting up poles in 2 c-shapes interlocking. You can trot the middle or canter the edges and if you set it up at an angle you can ride it with the long diagonals and change the rein. Effectively doing poles on a figure of eight.
On this rein the middle is 2 canter strides or 4 trot strides, with one canter pole on each side. Riding the other way (90 degrees) you have 4 trot poles down the middle or two canter poles down each side
