Indoor Exercises

[LadyB]

I’m bored, Stay at home order and work is slow.

Curious, what indoor exercises are you working on, what do you like about that exercise?

I’ve really started incorporating canter poles into my rides lately. Enjoying working on the fan, not so much on canter poles on the long side, actually find those harder to remain supple through. Adding some cavaletti’s on the centerline to play with suppling over them and staying on a circle or serpentine.

Looking to spice up some more of our indoor rides and curious what others have been up to.

Hi LadyB,

We don’t have an indoor, but I have recently started working on stretch walk and trot and it has been really fun incorporating that into our warm-ups and rides. Going back and forth every couple minutes between stretching and more contact has given my gelding a lot more flexibility and understanding of the contact.

Also, we try to lunge over poles once a week and ground work every couple of days, which is easy enough in an indoor
