I haven't had use of this area before so looking for ideas to put some objects out etc.
Don't adjust your screen it's not flat.

So far I have those poles and I plan to do a corridor with two poles further down to the right
I might make a little jump with that woody area, but need to get rid of that branch.


It's about half an acre I suppose.photostudio_1775635707393.jpg
 
Schooling in a not flat paddock is a good experience and interesting! Long time ago I used to ride Storm in our front field at the old place. It looked flat (ish) but it wasn't as I discovered. Now coming from a lovely yard with Olympic sized indoor school to going in a wonky field lol taught me quite a bit. (Mainly that my balance wasn't so good as I thought). It can be interesting though. And its good for them to have something to do in there. If it were me, objects would have to be either weighted and heavy or light and moveable after every use as most things will just blow off into the sea up here.
Can you have an outdoor plastic gardening box that you can stuff full of play things to come out as and when required? Cones, sheets etc etc. The poles are good aren't they. You could practice backing her up between them.
 
I could get another box, I shifted the last one as I wasn't using it.
I think light and easy to move will be what I would think of.
I have a set of flags that I can create a circle and see if she will be willing to explore it etc.
I want her to be curious because we aren't used to using this area as it's not usually already grazed at this time of year.
So that's a bonus.
 
I have a bunch of these little marker discs that are handy, small and lightweight. https://ebay.us/m/4TNZSj

And regular cones for propping poles up on for cavaletti.

My pool noodles were a fail as Monkey ate them.

Tarps and feed bags you can do things with, over, under and between!

I have some flags and those beach twirly things which can change the focus 😉
 
I love the look of those. They are light and easy to move about.
I have little white pole blocks for raising poles. I gabe the cones to the yard. I have the tops though.

The first session she was still in the this is my grazing paddock.
I don't want anyone to be envious of the area we have to play with, having her in your life isn't a walk in the park.
There is walking involved though in going to fetch her. 😂
