I've also seen it set where the pairs get progressively closer to the center, and zig zagged between. 6 poles set in a circle of comfortable size, trot and loped and then turn every other pole, also gives you the option of skipping poles for a horse who anticipates.

Regular Posts: 87	I really like one drill I learned at Sue Smith's clinics, sorry I can't make a video though, my barrels are completely drifted over in snow :( Sorry if I don't explain it right. YOu set up 3 barrels in a straight lint. At both end barrels you stop, lift their shoulders by lifting your hands, then move their shoulders out and keep walking around the barrel. At a walk, she had us do this on the backside as well. Then cross over the barrel in the middle (so if you're going around the end barrels to the left, you'll go on the left side of the middle barrel) and as you cross over to the right side of the barrel, you do almost like a side pass kind of thing, tip their nose to the inside and go diagonally. You can do this walking, then move onto trotting when you get that good, then at a nice collected lope. Sorry if that made no sense at all. But the whole point of the exercise is to elevate the shoulders and control where they move. I find it works really well, as long as you make your horse wait until they relax before moving on.
