cavalettis

dunno if that's how you spell it lol but i'm just wondering what heights and formations and stuff you can put cavalettis in. after jumping the other week (

) on Blacky and she lvoed it so i want to keep doing it, YO said to me "so how high did you put the cavalettis" and i was like "huh?"

so i know you can play around with them and stuff but what do you tend to do with them?
she can't jump high though but she's 26 so i suppose we'll let her off

you can stack them on top of one another

 

[B_2_B]

but do they not fall off? do you just balance the crosses at the side on top of each other? (forgot their name!

)

I thought the use of Cavaletti had pretty much died out due to concerns over health and safety

Was jumping one only yesterday!
I am going to make myself a couple very soon so that I can practice over the small fence without having to worry about it getting knocked down and interupting play.

I have just got OH to make me some, I thought that they were comming back into fashion.

I think the 'health and safety' advice these days is not to stack cavaletti to make jumps as they can bring a horse down if they hit them.

yeah i though they would be a bit wobbly lol. but thanks!

Yup, I am not a caveletti fan - seen a couple of close calls. There don't seem to be the concerns over here, and people were surprised when I asked for the jump to be on the wings rather than them, they hadn't heard of the dangers
