What are cavalettis and what are they used for? 

Cavalettis are riding accessories consisting of small jumps that are used for basic training, as well as being part of the exercises in different disciplines and competitions. A cavaletti is made up of a bar (usually about 3 metres long and 8 centimetres in diameter), together with pyramids or surfaces at the ends of the bar that support it on the ground. They are therefore one of the accessories used in initial training and riding training. They form part of one of the key exercises for both rider and horse, as they allow you to work on jumps at different heights and distances as a first contact with jumping. This allows the rider and the horse to progressively increase the emphasis on these exercises, at the same time as the combination (horse-rider) builds up their confidence. This type of equipment is essential for training beginner riders and horses until they can be trained to jump. For this reason, the use of cavalettis in riding and equestrian training can be combined with walking, trotting and cantering, allowing different types of exercise to be performed.

In which disciplines is a cavaletti used? 

The cavalettis are elevated bars raised above the ground that are used, above all, for the first jumps of a beginner rider or for basic training with the aim of establishing this type of work between the rider and horse. However, they are also used to set up exercises in some equestrian competitions such as eventing, dressage or show jumping.

Advantages of using cavalettis in equestrian sports 

When buying cavalettis, it is important to take into account the advantages and benefits of using these accessories in any type of exercise or discipline.
  •       They improve the physical condition of the horse. As we have already mentioned, they allow initial and very basic exercises to be carried out in order to train the horse.
  •       Improve technique. The pole can be placed in different positions and allow different circuits to be created, so that the horse can strengthen its muscles.
  •       Greater peace of mind. As it is a simple exercise, it can be carried out constantly and with greater confidence, allowing the animal to be calmer and more confident when training.
  •       Greater regularity of the stride.
  •       More flexibility of the horse in the circuits.
  •       They allow different techniques and disciplines such as cantering and dressage to be perfected.
  •       The rider can improve the references on the distance between jumps.
