Laura Collett's simple gridwork exercise! ✨

Laura Collett shares her simple grid that’ll sharpen up your skills!

For this exercise you’ll need 12 poles and six sets of wings. It’s a progressive exercise, and you’ll end up with two cross-poles on a bounce distance, then one stride to an oxer, followed by one stride to two more cross-poles on a bounce striding.

By working through the layout gradually and keeping the fences at a comfortable height for your horse, you’ll see improvements in his agility and co-ordination.

⏱️ Timestamps:
00:00 intro and set up
00:19 start with your warm up
00:39 progress through the grid exercise

🔑 Key takeaways:
· Ensure you have control of your shoulders in your warm up, as this will really help keep you straight down the grid
· Let the grid do the work for you
· If your horse jumps big over the oxer, try using your body to bring him back, not your hand
