There are so many exercises for so many different targeted problems and amount of poles etc etc. So makes it perfect to adjust if you are short on time or on a young horse. Easy to use fun exercises! 10/10 ### 5/5 — Fantastic App! *2023-08-26, version 1.03* This app is wonderful, I am an instructor and have taught many different disciplines. My current personal focus is dressage, and this app is great. These patterns are awesome and incredibly creative! You can sort the patterns by what skill you would like to focus on or by how many poles you wish to use. I have a herd of horses ranging from older seasoned lesson horses, to my young greenies- this app provides enough variety for all of them. The only thing that I think would be awesome would be to work on adding videos of a rider doing the different grids. I only say this because I follow the app maker on Instagram and adore all the wonderful reels with demos. Still a 5-star rating in my book! ### 5/5 — Incredible! *2023-08-12, version 1.03* I am LOVING this app. As a teacher it’s come in super handy for lessons for all ages and levels - I usually pick a focus and level it to the riders in each class for the day and I’ve had so much great feedback about my lessons being engagement and it’s also been great for the school horses to use their brains! Can’t wait to use it for myself when I’ve got a horse again 🙈 Also, it’s an absolute steal for this price! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2023-08-08, version 1.03* Easy to use, easy to understand and overall an awesome app. Give it a try for your horses! ### 5/5 — Great App *2023-02-22, version 1.02* I would highly recommend, there are so many different pole exercises to chose from. The app helps you to decide which pattern to use depending on what you want to achieve with your horse. You don’t need access to lots of poles to do many of the exercises. ### 5/5 — Fabulous *2023-02-22, version 1.02* Super App to give you ideas for making your schooling sessions more interesting for you and your horse. ### 5/5 — Love this app! Best Buy 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 *2023-02-22, version 1.02* I bought this app the day it came out and I just love it! I’m an instructor and sometimes need a bit of inspiration, it’s great for using with clients - I recommend it to everyone. The app is so simple to use and I particularly love the random layout generator 💗 it’s so clever how you can choose an exercise based on number of poles or what you are trying to improve (bend, straightness, rhythm etc), it clearly shows all the different lines through the layouts too. An absolute bargain for such a small one-off payment, no subscription or paying extra to access other levels. Thank you Fancy Footwork Equestrian! ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2023-02-21, version 1.02* Love this app, definitely worth the bargain price! Super helpful if like me you struggle with inspiration when schooling alone. Lots of pole formations and you can pick from number of poles or what you want to work on. Have been recommending to friends! ### 5/5 — Just the best *2023-02-21, version 1.02* This is definitely worth it! I got it for more inspiration whilst doing my horses in hand walking rehab programme for his suspensory injuries and it’s given me so many ideas and new focus points!! I now no longer aimlessly walk him over three poles in a row and try to manage his behaviour, I now go into a session with a purpose and new ideas to keep him focused!! He’s enjoying it as much as I am now and is far more relaxed 👏🏻 ### 5/5 — Great app! *2023-02-20, version 1.02* Brilliant app and really good value for money, loads of different layouts with different ways to ride each of them. I’ve used this loads when I’m bored in the school and want to change things up a bit. Love that you can select patterns by number of poles ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2023-02-20, version 1.02* I love so many things about this app, if like me you can never remember the pole spacings, it’s super easy to to open the app for reference. I also love polework, both ridden and in hand but often completely lack inspiration for lay outs so it’s massively helpful having these all there waiting to be put to use, with easy to see methods for execution ### 5/5 — Superb App *2023-02-20, version 1.02* Love this app..really helps us set up our own little pole clinic at home..easy to use and great fun trying out the different layouts ### 5/5 — Fantastic product *2023-02-20, version 1.02* I love this app. As a horsey mum with little imagination this is a great tool to give me and my daughter inspiration for polework ideas. Each exercise is broken down into areas it targets and everything is explained so well you can’t go wrong at any level or ability. 100% would recommend buying this app as it’s been a game changer and the random polework generator just adds a bit of fun to schooling sessions ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2023-01-27, version 1.02* What a great app, so easy to use , very clear and perfect for polework inspiration. Handy app to use when setting up your poles , highly recommended ❤️ ### 5/5 — Money well spent! *2023-01-03, version 1.02* I LOVE this app! I enjoy doing polework but often don’t know what patterns to do or how to use them and this app solves all of my problems. You get such an array of patterns and exercises for any skill level and the explanations are easy to follow and enjoyable to try. If you’ve not tried it, it’s well worth the money! ### 5/5 — AMAZING APP! *2022-12-22, version 1.02* I love doing poles but i’m so bad for just doing you basic 4 trot poles in a line when i don’t know what else to do, now i have so many options and it’s amazing, you get more than your moneys worth! 100% recommend! xx ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2022-12-16, version 1.01* This app is simply brilliant. I love doing poles but lack inspiration sometimes but this app does it all for you. You can select an exercise based on how many poles you have available to use or select one based on the area you wish to improve. The random button feature is my personal favourite as it’s nice to have it choose for you. Highly recommend this app. We are having great fun using it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rip off. *2025-07-12, version 2.1.0* Buy the app then pay more for each pattern. I don’t think so. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-01-21, version 2.0.0* When this app was advertised on YouTube it was new and there was promise of many more additions to the app. These are being added as in-app purchases at the same price as the original app. Disappointed 😔 ### 5/5 — Excellent *2025-08-06, version 2.1.0* This guide is so helpful and creative, I use the patterns for in hand work & ridden. It can be tailored to the number of poles you have and I never run out of options. You pay for the app once for access to plenty of patterns and can upgrade once to access more. Then you have free access to EVERYTHING!! ### 5/5 — Fantastic App *2025-08-06, version 2.1.0* Ive followed Nina’s social pages for the last couple of years now, saw that she had the Polework app and gave it a try. £3.99 for ALL of your exercises (thats right, no subscription or hidden fees!) and perhaps a further I think £3 for EVEN MORE exercises is a bargain. The app is so convenient, I can pull my phone out, decide what I want to work on that day, how many poles I have to play with and it will generate a few exercises. I’ve also attended a clinic with Nina and she is lovely, genuine person! Give it a go if you’ve got mush for a brain and need help deciding what pile exercises to do 🤪 ### 5/5 — Very useful app *2025-08-06, version 2.1.0* Get so many layouts, plans and advice - great value for money. So handy to have in your pocket when laying out any pole work. Has spruced up our sessions with new ideas and layouts. ### 5/5 — Brilliant!! *2025-08-05, version 2.1.0* Amazing app; a variety of layouts depending on goals, ability and number of poles. So handy to have in your back pocket for those days where you want some inspo and guidance! ### 5/5 — Fantastic App! *2025-05-28, version 2.1.0* I use this app all the time - it is simply magnificent!! ### 5/5 — Incredible ⭐️ *2024-11-10, version 2.0.0* I recently purchased this app to help my 9 year old daughter with her pony, and it’s been such a great investment, especially as we can’t afford regular lessons. The app is packed with a variety of polework plans that are really well-structured, easy to follow, and offer so much guidance. My daughter and I can both understand the exercises, which helps us make the most of our time with her pony. It’s intuitive, user-friendly, and gives me confidence in delivering her training. Throughout our time being first time pony owners, we understand the importance of polework and this app helps us each week target areas that we want to improve on. Everyone on the yard is fascinated when I lay out the poles….Highly recommend to anyone looking for affordable, quality training help! Xx ### 5/5 — An official must have for all equestrians! *2024-11-08, version 2.0.0* This app is hands down the best thing since sliced bread! Many a times we wander round the arena wondering what to do, stick a couple of poles out etc but honestly this app is brilliant! It gives purpose to your ride , everything is laid out on the screen for you to recreate in your arena. If you have a particular thing you want to work on ie balance, bend or engagement, there are pole layouts pacifically for those. There are layouts for you even if you don’t have many poles it’s amazing what you can do with just a couple of poles! This app has really benefited our Flatwork/pole work sessions. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Amazing app!!! *2024-11-08, version 2.0.0* Has loads of selection of pattens to adapt to what you want to achieve with your horse, I absolutely love this and highly recommend! ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2024-03-29, version 1.03* I was spending ages trawling the internet looking for polework patterns to do with my horse and then I found this! Everything’s in one handy place and it even shows you the lines you can do. Money well spent! 😍 ### 5/5 — Fabulous! *2024-02-11, version 1.03* This app is great even if you only have a handful of poles, you don’t need any fancy equipment or gadgets. Just place your poles as shown in the diagrams and follow the suggested lines then have a play and find your own lines. I’ve found it very helpful when I’ve run out of ideas for exercises and most of the time you’ll be able to do them in-hand or using long reins, which is brilliant when you’re starting a youngster or bringing a horse back into work. Highly recommended. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
