I have a horse show at my barn today. I'm doing the ground pole course and the hunter hack. I'm kind of new at riding, and I was wondering how to check if you are on the right lead, and hwo to prevent running over ground poles ? Also for the hunter hack, are you allowed to circle or cut other riders
If you're on the correct lead, you can generally feel it but if you can't, look down and the inside front leg should be the leading leg if you're on the correct lead. You could also sit a friend or someone on the rail and have them nod or shake their head when you look over to tell you. Hunter hack if you need room, cut across the arena or circle to find space. Don't cut anyone off
