Pommel Trainer and Pommel-less Horse Progressions
Now every routine in here from levels 3-5 would be performed on the pommel trainer or mushroom, whatever you prefer to call it. From the level 6-8 routines those are performed on a horse without the pommels on. I have suggested skills though that involve scissor work so you can improve on that and also get a head start. I know that you asked for the most difficult routines and I will get to that in the next video but I figured I would cover the routines leading up to that for right now. These progressions should help with a super advanced pommel routine. I hope this helps and would love to hear how your progress is going so far! I will cover pommel horse routines in the next video going from what would be levels 9, 10, elite, and the most difficult routine.
