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 🔗 See more Horse&Rider content: Check out our winter training series:    • Winter Training Series Part One - 4 weeks ...   Discover more content and expert advice - https://www.horseandrideruk.com 💬 Join the conversation Let us know how you get on with this gridwork exercise! 🔔 Stay connected Don't forget to like, share and subscribe to stay updated on our latest content! ✨ Follow us on socials   / horseandridermag     / horseandrideruk   🐴 Check out our latest issue: https://www.horseandrideruk.com/the-m... 📮 Subscribe to Horse&Rider magazine: https://www.horseandrideruk.com/the-m... #gridwork #showjumping #eventing #lauracollett #horses Horse&Rider magazine: The UK's best-selling equestrian monthly magazine
