If you’ve ever struggled with the Garrocha pole / Bull Line obstacle in Working Equitation, this video is for you! Great step by step breakdown of how to carry the pole through the obstacles.
In this in-depth training session, Miguel Undabarrena, U.S. Coach for the 2026 WAWE World Championship, breaks down exactly how to confidently ride the Bull Line / Ring / Barrel obstacles from start to finish — including how to pick up the pole, properly position it under your arm, spear the ring, and smoothly return it to the barrel.
Why the Garrocha Pole Matters in Working Equitation
The Garrocha obstacle is not just about accuracy — it tests:
• Rider coordination
• Balance and position
• Horse straightness
• Precision under pressure
Miguel emphasizes something many riders overlook: practice the entire sequence off the horse first. By rehearsing the movement pattern on the ground, your body builds muscle memory. When you get in the saddle, it becomes automatic — reducing tension and improving performance in competition.
