CHAPTER 3: Classifying Trail Obstacles: Kinds & Groups of Trail Obstacles
Trail Obstacles fall in to a few categories /groups of items by the foundation skills used to complete the obstacle. I label these groups KINDS: Crossing Obstacles, Manuevers, Immobility, DeSpooking, and Advanced. This is how we talk about trail obstacles when we are using them with our horse.
When we are building trail obstacles they are divided into “Sections of Obstacles”. This refers to the parts/pieces/building materials we need to build obstacles. In the construction content, you will find the obstacles arranged in sections of similar components for building.

Each section of Obstacles gives you detailed obstacle ideas including how to build, illustrations and dimensions.
Sections include:
