I know how to make the poles, but how do you make the standards?

Thanks

Here are a couple of pics of the ones my Husband made. The first one is a roll top . The horses

love to jump it. At first they are afraid but after a while they kind of go out of their way to jump it

sometimes even when we are free lougeing in the same ring.

This is a side view of same jump

and just a regular jump with the back side of the roll top in the background

We use PVC caps cut in half and attatched by one single screw to the post. This allows the carriers

to swing if tipped instead of tripping the horse, the pole will roll off freely.

We also have a brick wall . I don't have a pic of it today.

My grandaugher is having a horsey birthday party here tomorrow . Will try to take

a pic of it for you then. Maryann
