Obstacle Descriptions
The obstacles in the Ease of Handling phase can be easily put together from items that you have on hand.
Please ensure that the items you use are horse safe, meaning that there are no sharp edges and the item does not pose a risk of entanglement of either horse or rider.
Obstacle numbering is not required, unless you need it for your own reference.
All obstacles must be ridden as per the course map. If you are unsure, please email entries@virtualworkingequitation.com prior to filming.
We have uploaded videos on our YouTube channel to show the execution of a few of the obstacles. If you need training on the obstacles then please see the Training page.
