Poles eat ponies you know At least, so Brook has always thought. In previous lessons she has started out refusing to walk over a single pole and having to be led but after that she would usually settle down. Today, she was hesitant the very first time we walked over the corner poles, but after that she really knuckled down to work and tried very hard, especially doing raised cavelletti trotting poles as well for the first time I am very pleased! Progress!
