It depends on several things. If you have a 16.2HH horse the poles will need to be spaced further apart, a pony will need them closer together for the simple fact that each horse had a different stride length. For an average size horse, about 3 ft. or two or three steps of 'heel/toe' will work fine. If your horse keeps kicking the poles you may need to adjust the spacing, one way or another. Another factor is the way your horse moves. Some horses may have a shorter, sometimes choppy trot. Horses that have good confirmation tend to extend the trot due to a free moving, fluid shoulder and flat-kneed trot. If the angle of the shoulder is not at a 45 degree angle with a 45 degree pastern to match, it may be difficult for him to extend. You will get the best results with a lot of leg, pushing him into the poles, engaging his hindquarters, with very light reins. This will let him relax his topline.
