What obstacles do I need to practice WE? 

You don't need to invest a lot of time and money to make obstacles for Working Equitation. Many of the obstacles for Ease of Handling can be varied to make other obstacles. 

​

​

Cavaletti or Jumping Poles for the "Sidepass", the "L", the "Corridor", "Livestock Pen"

​

Barrels or Trash cans for the "Figure 8", "Drums", "Jug"

​

Cones or Bending Poles for the "Slalom", "Double Slalom", "Figure 8", "Drums"

​

Jump standards can be affixed with a bell.

Apply velcro to a diving ring for "Spearing the Ring",

A rope can be tied to one standard and looped around another for the "Gate".

​

Print out a copy of the Obstacles Appendix from the rules page on www.usawe.org and  you can begin to set up your own obstacles. Don't forget to bring a measuring tape out to your riding area.
