Les cavaletti. Ils sont composés de barres fixées à chaque extrémité à des supports. Les barres doivent être en bois, épaisses de 10 cm environ, rondes et en bon état, pour que le cheval les respecte, longues de 2 à 4 m maximum. Plus les barres seront longues, plus on aura de mal à canaliser les chevaux. Deux formes différentes de supports latéraux : les uns rectangulaires, les autres en forme de croix. Par contre, les modèles en forme de croix ont l'avantage de pouvoir être disposés selon trois différentes hauteurs : 15-20 cm; 30-35 cm; 50 cm. La hauteur la plus basse, qui est communément considérée comme étant normale, se situe entre 15 et 20 cm. Elle sert surtout pour le travail au pas et au trot. Pour le galop, il est recommandé de prendre la position à 50 cm du sol pour que le reste du galop puisse avoir l'amplitude voulue et que le cheval soit, dès le début, incité à être attentif. 3, record 1, French, - cavaletti
