Jumping distance!
When walking a showjumping course, in between each jump, you can count every step you take until you get to 4, which is roughly one horse stride. eg- 1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4, that will be around 3 horse strides (12-14 m)
Stay Horsey,

Dressage Training Routine
Here is a dressage training routine I made for myself for everyday training and exercises, I made this on Excel :) using a template already, feel free to take mine/use my idea or make your own. P.S, the times are there to just be there, it's just a rough draft of how long each exercise would take.
Should I do one for jumping too? I hope this will help you!
Stay horsey,
