Schooling with Ground Poles: Flatwork Schooling for Every Horse and Rider

Schooling with Ground Poles: Flatwork Schooling for Every Horse and Rider

by Claire Lilley (Author)

Synopsis

Jumping training is often considered by many to be the sole purpose for which ground poles are used. But, with a little imagination, poles can be a versatile training aid for all disciplines and for the benefit of both horse and rider. They help to improve a rider's technique and accuracy with the aids and develop a horse's suppleness, strength and obedience.

Author Bio
Claire Lilley's comprehensive career has spanned nearly twenty years. During that time she has run a livery yard and worked as a chief instructor and yard manager. She has also run her own training yard, taking in horses for remedial training, breaking in young stock, teaching students and entering dressage competitions. Freelance teaching became a big part of her life and she also began writing for equestrian magazines and participating in demonstrations throughout the UK, riding for Sylvia Loch. Claire now runs regular training courses in Sweden, specializing in competition and remedial training for all disciplines. She competes on her own horses in dressage to Advanced level and in dressage to music. Broadening her equestrian horizons all the time, Claire qualified as a fitness trainer which has helped her knowledge of human anatomy, so relevant to teaching riding, and has recently taken up side-saddle riding. She lives in Wiltshire.
