This exercise is fantastic, I used it for a weekend clinic that I was running here in NZ. I introduce exercises progressively as I don't always know the horse and rider combinations that come along. Once we had warmed up and worked on straightness, rhythm and balance over other poles exercises I introduced the elevated X from the side first with only 2 poles raised to make a V then made it into an X. Once horses and riders were able to approach the X from both sides confidently I sent them down the line. As a Rider Biomechanics coach with a passion for Horse Biomechanics I love how riders have to work hard to stay in balance and mindful to ensure the horse stays in balance and mindful :)
