Straight pole rows
Focus on rhythm and straight approaches through both pole rows.
For riding instructors and trainers
Plan the exercise before you set up the arena
Plan your poles, cavaletti and obstacles before the session so you spend less time rearranging equipment in the arena. Show your riders the exercise's riding line and take a clear printed plan to guide the setup.
No credit card required for the free trial.
From an idea to a plan for the arena
- Arrange poles and cavaletti.
- Draw riding lines and save variations.
- Print the plan for your next session.
Plan three pole work exercises with one equipment layout
Plan different riding lines on the same setup, using colors and arrows to distinguish them. Compare three variations below without moving the equipment.

Set trot pole distances. Bend the row without changing the gaps.
Choose Trot poles or Cavaletti, select the number of poles and set the gap in centimeters — the overall length updates automatically. Change the overall length and the gaps recalculate. Use the Curvature slider in the Object panel to bend the row: distances measured along the arc between consecutive pole centers stay the same. Presets offer a straight line, semicircle or quarter-circle.
Make the intended riding line clear
Draw riding lines freely with curves and ellipses, using colors and repeated direction arrows. For automatic measurements and route-following cameras, connect obstacles into a track — the connected riding line described in the guides. Freely drawn lines remain separate drawing elements.
Take a clear setup plan to the arena
Take a clear plan to the arena instead of recreating the exercise from memory. Set up the layout, make the intended riding line readable and export the result for printing.
- Position the exercise elements
- Draw the riding line and add notes
- Print the plan or save a PDF
Show and share the exercise before the session
In the 3D view, walk the riding line at ground level with your riders before anyone moves a pole. Compare approaches from above, move the camera freely or follow a connected riding line with an automatic camera.
Send the plan to your riders or arena helper
Create a share link so your riders can view the exercise without signing in. Enable Print / PDF for the person setting out the poles. You choose what recipients can do; they cannot change your original project.

Export a video from the 3D view to explain the exercise before riders arrive. Choose a ready-made format for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok or Facebook Reels, then send the file or upload it to your yard's profile.

Your questions, answered
Do I need a full jumping course?
No. You can plan an exercise using only ground poles, cavaletti, cones and riding lines. Jumping obstacles and a competition format are not required — the three variations above use the same pole and cavaletti setup.
Does the app choose exercises and distances for me?
No. Parkour Design helps you draw, measure and explain your plan. It is not a prescribed training program and does not automatically select suitable distances or difficulty. The instructor chooses exercises and values appropriate to the horse and rider.
Do I need Masters to plan training sessions?
No. Training courses and standard printed plans are available in Advanced and Masters. Masters adds offline work, the materials editor and extended documentation. Choose it if you need those extras, rather than for access to training layouts themselves.
How do payments and VAT work?
Choose monthly or annual billing. Payments are handled by Paddle; parkour.design does not store your card details. Listed prices exclude VAT, which is calculated at checkout according to your country.
Can I cancel my subscription at any time?
Yes. Open Profile → Subscription plan and use the Paddle Customer Portal to cancel. Access continues until your subscription ends. Your saved designs remain stored and become available again when you reactivate your subscription.
What happens to my designs after the free trial?
The 14-day trial expires without you needing to cancel it. Your saved arena layouts and course designs stay in the database. An active subscription is needed to continue designing; your saved projects become available again after you subscribe.
Who can access my designs?
Your designs are private: only the author can access them in their account. You can sign in with the same account on different devices to access your own projects.
Can I use a tablet or iPad, including for 3D?
The application runs in a browser and supports touch controls, but compatibility and comfort depend on the device. Older tablets may not have enough memory. For 3D we recommend a desktop or laptop: mobile devices may run slowly, become hot or close the browser tab. A keyboard and mouse provide the full navigation and camera-capture workflow.
Can I choose the units and language?
Yes. Work in meters or feet. The competition table language can be selected independently of the application interface language, so you can prepare a plan for a competition in another country without changing your working language.
Where can I get help?
Use the built-in chat or contact us by email. Describe what you were trying to do and include your browser, device and a screenshot if relevant.
