Cavaletti: Effective Gymnastics for Every Horse
Cavaletti work is one of the most valuable training methods in equestrian sports. Whether dressage, show jumping, or leisure horse: regular work over ground poles and small obstacles promotes relaxation, improves rhythm, and strengthens the muscles. Thanks to their special design, cavaletti can be adjusted to different heights by simply rotating them, making them an extremely flexible training tool.
The Benefits of Cavaletti Work
Structured training with cavaletti offers numerous physical and coordinative advantages:
- Muscle Building: The horse must lift its legs more consciously and work more from the shoulder and hindquarters. This specifically strengthens the back and croup muscles.
- Pace and Rhythm: Riding or lunging over fixed distances trains the horse's sense of rhythm and helps to find a clean beat in all gaits.
- Surefootedness: The horse learns to coordinate its feet better and pay more attention, which increases surefootedness on uneven terrain.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the ideal distances for cavaletti?
The distances depend on the horse's size and gait. As a rough guide for large horses: Walk approx. 0.80 m, trot approx. 1.10 to 1.30 m, and canter approx. 3.00 m. For ponies, the distances must be shortened accordingly.
Which material is best for cavaletti blocks?
Robust plastic has proven its worth. It is extremely weather-resistant, splinter-free (minimized risk of injury), and light enough to quickly rebuild the course alone. Nevertheless, the blocks offer sufficient stability so that they do not roll away immediately when bumped.
Robust Materials for Daily Training
A safe and stable setup is essential for pole work. Our cavaletti and cavaletti blocks are designed so that they do not cause pain to the horse if touched, but still stand stable enough to form a visual and physical boundary.
In our range, you will find versatile plastic cavaletti blocks that allow different heights for walk, trot, and canter work by simply rotating them. Combine them with our break-resistant obstacle poles to put together your individual training course for the riding arena or indoor school.
