And the prices continue to climb! Hopefully we will get a break soon. I have so many projects that are just waiting for lumber prices to come back down.

It’s a bad time for everyone right now. I hate to have to admit that unfortunately the price of lumber continues to rise almost daily. 😢

Think cavelletti are only for horses? Think again! Dogs can use cavelletti to help burn off mental and physical energy when a long walk is not an option. Just like with horses, cavaletti strengthens muscles, challenge the brain, and helps build the dog-owner bond. By changing the configurations of the poles, you can work distinct sets of muscles. The spacing and the height of the poles motivate the dog to move in different ways. There are seemingly endless layouts, and the variety helps improve body awareness, rhythm, stamina, flexibility, and strength. Cavelletti for canines are typically made from light weight PVC that are easy to set up and store away when not in use.

As promised, more information about cavaletti.

Think training with cavaletti is just for showjumpers? Nope. Any horse and rider combination can benefit from using them! Cavaletti poles are small jumps with the rail or pole fixed at each end to an X so they can’t be knocked down. By rotating them onto different sides, the height can be adjusted from 4–24in. They offer the flexibility of both a very small jump, and a raised trotting pole on their lowest height setting.

You want to aim for the following distances when setting up a working pattern for most 15-16 hand horses:-
Walk – 2 feet to 2.5 feet apart
Trot – 3.5 feet to 4 feet apart
Canter – 9 feet to 11 feet apart
