pole work
Welcome to A.P Equine & Canines pole work page. Take a look below at our demonstrative pole work videos designed to explain the use of pole work in rehabilitation and strength and conditioning.
Please note novice and green horses have been used in the majority of these video so as to provide a true representation of how horses frequently start off when introduced to pole work. Therefore, we have kept the odd trips, miss steps and postural changes in the video content, this we hope will set realistic expectations for individuals using pole work as part of thier ridden and non ridden routines. Over time your horse becomes stronger, better coordinated and balanced the frequency of mishaps should reduce, just remember… be patient, support and encourage!!

Serpentine Set-up
A brief introduction to the multiuse serpentine set-up.
Great for working on lateral spinal flexion, balance stability and coordination.
In this video my veteran RoR mare (Minky) is demonstrating the exercises. She’s 4 weeks into her pole work strength and conditioning schedule at this point and is taking to the set-up well providing everything is kept slow and steady.
