The distance poles are set up at fractions 1 furlong (1/8 of a mile) also called the 1/8th pole is closest to the finish line. Then you have a 1/4 pole and a 3/4 pole. Many tracks have more poles than this.

How do you lunge a horse over poles?

Assuming you have already lunged your horse without poles and they are comfortable with it, you simply add the poles on the ground and lunge as you normally would. The horse will naturally try to avoid stepping on the poles. You can vary the distance between the poles to get your horse to lengthen or shorten his or her strides. Start easy and at a walk until the horse gets the hang of it. This may take many days. Very gradually work up to a trot or canter and more difficult distances and patterns. Lunging is a real workout for the horse so don't try to do too much too quickly.


What is the Weight limit for a person to ride a horse?

There is no set weight limit to riding a horse. However, horses can carry 1/3 of their weight. If your weight is more than 1/3 of your horses, you can cause injuries and soreness. And eventually the horse will become sway (its back will curve in) with age. People should choose a horse that is strong enough to hold them. Make sure of this to be sure you are not harming your horse.
