Trim the Tree Trail Grid from Judge Jennifer Sawyer

Multi Carded Judge and trainer Jennifer Sawyer of Silver Springs, Florida, brings us a unique tree trail grid, just in time for Christmas vacation riding time!

Ahem – Tim Kimura, can you meet this challenge and raise us another suitable obstacle for the course?

 

From Jennifer:

For my fans of grids…it’s Christmas…so let’s “Trim the Tree” I’ve used both formats as seen here. All are built with 10–12’ poles or you can double up on 6’ ones.

How we use them-

Circles simulating “hanging the garland.”

Running up the tree from the stand upward to “hanging the star” on the top. Wanna really challenge yourself? Lope or canter this one with a lead change in THE MIDDLE. Shout out to client and fellow pro Brittany Filetti who SLAYED it!

Ride up the trunk, then squared corners in the center left and right, counting strides.

”Hang the icicles,” riding straight lines from corner to corner at any gait. Then ride a half circle back across either end and ride back across to the opposite corner. Repeat.

Have fun, be festive and remember to ride well is to “think less and feel more!”
