1. 4-5 ground poles parallel to each other in a line (so that you can ride straight across them). Space the poles at a distance of 8 feet apart. 2. Working gait 3. Ride straight across the poles. 4. You should count TWO steps from your horse between each pole. For instance, each front foot should take a step in the space between the poles before crossing over the next pole. 5. Your rhythm should feel like this: CROSS the pole, One-Two, CROSS the pole, One-Two, CROSS the pole, and so on… Feel for those beats and aim to keep them consistent each time you ride over the pole. **this is an average spacing for a horse about 15.2 hands tall. If you ride a horse with a shorter stride, you will modify the spacing suggestion by 2-3 inches." (This was taken from an gaited horse forum, hope this helps)!
At fist I thought 30 Degrees that's HOT, why is she talking about a cold bit? then I remembered that you come from the USA and measure Fahrenheit. By the way 30°C is 86°F

Would you do this with a gaited horse?
1. 4-5 ground poles parallel to each other in a line (so that you can ride straight across them). Space the poles at a distance of 8 feet apart.
2. Working gait
3. Ride straight across the poles.
4. You should count TWO steps from your horse between each pole. For instance, each front foot should take a step in the space between the poles before crossing over the next pole.

Do you gloves to ride?
I don’t, personally I like to feel the reins. 🐎

What is a 'gaited' horse'?
A horse who is born with a unique or additional gait. I highly recommend researching and watching a video to get a full understanding.
