A new polework exercise aims to enhance horse bend and rider accuracy using five poles.
The exercise requires placing five poles in a straight line with four metres between each. Riders should warm up and then walk between the poles, creating wide serpentines with uniform bend through turns. After reaching the end, a three-quarter circle turn leads into riding over the poles before repeating in the opposite direction.
