Ground Poles at a Jump.

[Silver]

Am an old time BHSAI, don't really teach much nowadays but just registered as an accredited coach and on the safeguarding course someone mentioned that at a jump ground poles are no longer placed flat on the ground. When I asked why no one could give me an answer.

Would be great if someone could educate me and let me know.

Thanks.

Not heard that one but ground rails are no longer used in Show Jumping

I've never heard that and never seen it in use either

In case a horse treads on it, and it rolls, I bet. Elf and Safety...

I was having a flatwork lesson around a course that had been left up by a young BHSII (ie did her exams in last five years) at a decent rs last week, and all the fences had flat ground poles...

Maybe it's a new rule that hasn't been fed down yet?
