    Hey!

    No problem, let’s post some videos for you to follow

    First of all, definitely sounding angry is not the way forward – you could definitely do some obstacles at 55cm but generally doesn’t solve the root issue of why the poles are being knocked.

    First of all, you need to assess is it a particular poles for example, loose turns, wing wraps, straight lines etc. And then assess to make sure your timing is good with both verbal and handling.

    In the meantime, you could definitely teach some jump skills like below

    Gridwork – Loose Arc Grid

    Gridwork – Pole Awareness grid 1

    Gridwork – One Jump Collection Grid
