Buying jumps - help!?

[Patterdale]

I’m about to take the plunge. I’ve sold my wooden jumps and filled an online basket with some Jump4Joy ones.

Are they worth the money!? Finding it very hard to click buy on such a lot of money!

I have had j4j 4 years now and they are brilliant as not too heavy so can be moved easily - so far have withstood a winter of snow and a winter of rain with not a mark on them - am going to buy extra poles now too as so good.

I bought loads of plastic jumps off https://www.jumpsonline.co.uk/ they were cheaper than j4j and they are great. I love mine

I was about to say just make your own, but that's quite tricky if you want plastic ones!

Have you looked on eBay?

My neighbour, who's arena I use, is the J4J supplier here in Perth. I about fainted when I heard how much they cost. I refuse to pay $200/jump for agility jumps! They do look amazing, she has a poppy one currently (new) that is stunning. Appear to be pretty robust. We are looking forward to jumping them in a million years time

Well I pressed buy!
3 jumps, loads of money but probably no more than I would have spent on competing/camps this summer ?

Can’t wait for them to arrive now!!

I do regular clinics at a friends place, she has a full set from J4J, they’re fabulous. Exciting, enjoy ?

I occasionally window shop for jumps. Never quite pressed the button though. They are expensive but bet they will be fun and brighten things up for you. Post pics, we need all the entertainment we can get!

I still have J4J poles and stands that are 20 years old - always lived outside. Used to buy them for daughter's birthdays! Easy to add to. I bought Jumps Online too as got a good discount via Twittereventing. Their stands are good and lighter than J4J but their poles are pants and have split/broken as have their planks and water tray. Not a patch on J4J but as my grandmother always said "buy the best quality you can afford as quality lasts"

Enjoy.

They’re definitely worth the money. Mine are 20yrs old and Altho faded still going strong, especially the wings.

Oh which did you buy?

 

[Patterdale]

Thank you! Very reassuring to know they’re worth it!
I got the single stands without wing bits as they’re supposed to stand up better in the wind as they were cheaper!
One blue with dark blue and light blue poles.
One red with red white and blue poles.
One yellow with multicoloured poles.

So hard deciding which ones! Wish I could have afforded loads of fillers but I can make those. Wanted bright colours as pony never sees them and then reverts to 3 year old state when we go to a show at a strange place with bright jumps and fillers ?

Chilli's owner has the big plastic jump wings and omg being able to carry two jump wings out easily to set them up... it is so luxurious and heavenly!! Enjoy your new jumps and post pics!!
