Sunday Strides:- A Challenge for the Week with Your Horse
One Pole = Endless Possibilities.
Why do we overcomplicate our riding, when often the biggest breakthroughs come from doing less?!
In this episode of Sunday Strides, Lorna challenges you to strip things right back. No fancy setups. No complicated grids. No elaborate plans.
Just one pole, placed on the ground, and a willingness to get creative.
Back to Basics to Move Forward Inside Connection this quarter, the theme is ground poles. But instead of building complex exercises, Lorna suggests starting with the simplest possible version: a single pole.
Because when you remove the overwhelm, you create space for clarity. And clarity leads to progress.
Your Challenge This Week: Place one pole on the ground and explore what you can do with it.
Groundwork around it
Lateral movements
Stride adjustments
Riding straight lines with intention
Raising it slightly for core strength
