on your livery yard, do you have jumps in the school and if so do they stay out? or do you have to put them in the middle after use, or in trailer etc..?
at the yard iv been on we set them up ourselves and put them away, in this old lorry. it takes forever to do it, so i dont jump much in the winter, but the summer kind of makes up for it because we have a jump field.
 
Depends what's happening

If we jump and there a jumping lesson (or YO wants to jump) after we leave them out,

If it's dressage then the jumps get put away

If it's just a beginner lesson they just get put together in the middle of arena
 
They stray out, but it's a big school and generally it's rare to have more than two or three (people) in there at once so the jumps aren't in the way. Also have an indoor school which is clear of jumps
 
I'm not really on a yard but share the arena with my dad who lunges the horses often so I put them in the middle of the arena and poles against the sides when I'm finished, you can't do some things like M X K but other than that it works fine

Our jumps on the school get put back on the side each time - it's only 20x40 so there isn't much space if more than one person wants to ride otherwise. In the spring they go out in the field and stay there until the autumn.
 
i'm on a SJing yard so if they are out they can stay out, if people want them away they put them away. they also get put away when they level the school
 
We normally put the jumps away every time they're used, they go outside the school in the corner. They're all nice and light so its not really a big deal.
Today me and a friend put a course of jumps out and asked the YM if we could leave them out for a few days so everyone can jump them, he agreed and today everyone has jumped them lol!!
