The Hoop - Horse Agility How to #1

Horse agility comprises a variety of obstacles for the horse to complete, at the higher levels this is against the clock which makes it a great spectator sport in which to participate.

Horse Agility tests your horse's physical as well as his emotional fitness and tests your ability as a trainer to keep your horse travelling safely over the course effectively and with style.

There's lots of info on training and equipment on The Horse Agility club website.

What is the black material on the bridge? Thanks

Sorry only just seen this. It's woven rubber matting that is usually used on trailer ramps. It's very expensive but the best non-slip surface we could find. Hope that helps.

Well spotted, I was a Parelli student back in the nineties so that's my background. However if I'd been a clicker trainer or TTouch student it would look like that. Horse Agility isn't a method you can use any style of horsemanship to compete.

Thanks for your comment!

Love this! I love doing ground work and now we are thinking of starting a horse agility club locally here!  Thanks for the great ideas!!

Saw this in Equus, I think it's sooo awesome! Can't wait to start working with my boy

I can't believe I have just now heard about 'Horse Agility' and that there is an accredited trainer only a couple hours away ! Looks like so much fun, and a great sport for non-riding horse lovers and for out-grown ponies ! It can't help but maximize the bond between horse and rider, with force or violence being a non-starter. I'm really excited about this !

This is a lovely video! I do agility with my dog, but I never had thought about it for a horse! =)
