When setting distances between poles and jumps it can be daunting on where to start. Below you will find some helpful information on what works for me and a good starting point for you to spring board off of. Use it as a guide to help you start and then learn how to adjust for your level of horse and rider. Biggest tip for this one is to set more room than you think you need and start as poles (or small jumps) to make sure the horse can handle what you are asking and can easily maneuver if a mistake is made. Obviously we want the right amount but when in doubt it is always better to have too much room in case things go wrong instead of too little.
Practical or “schooling” distances are more common and work for a variety of horses and riders when schooling at home.
