[RC] Obstacle design & training - CTR - Alisanne Steele
I have been adding obstacle training to
our arena work over the last couple of weeks. We have been using feed
bags, towels, cavalettis, muck bukets, and anything else we can get our hands
on around the barn.
Do any of you know any good books,
websites, or other sources of information on design & building of various obstacles
that might help train/proof a horse for the various things we run into along endurance
or CTR courses, or just a Saturday in the park.
As we have progressed, he is meeting new
obstacles with very little resistance compared to some of the first ones we
introduced. I think this can only aid in building a trail savvy horse,
and would like to continue introducing new obstacles and barriers.
Any advice or info would be appreciated!

Sue,
I would be embarrassed for any group that does not welcome your breed!
Bring em on, I say! My gf rides a MFT in the rides, that is the only way she
can ride as she has a bad back. We have a blast and she is comfortable, anyone
says differently, shame on them.
