Jump blocks

[FfionWinnie]

What to buy? Where is a good source for a good price?

I like the look of the hedgehog ones, and the sort which are kind of a triangle shape with groves rather than plastic moulded cups. Any thought on which is better, more options with hedgehog and can go higher but almost double the price.

Also, what is a standard pole length?

Looking on horse jumps for sale currently, have bought from them before.

Thanks

Can't help on the jump blocks as the only ones I've ever had are now *20* years old so my info is a tad out of date

But I think most poles are 12' long. Though I've sawn mine down to 10' as that's easier in an arena

Thanks that's helpful!

I bought 10ft poles from the timber merchants a lot cheaper and painted myself.

Yes that's what I am going to do but I think its worth investing in the plastic blocks as they will last forever.

Jump for Joy practice stands are cheaper I think as I looked at this option too! if you are a BRC member you get 5% discount

Oh that's fab as I've just joined the RC and I am going to be down practically at their premises in a few weeks with a trailer so can save on postage too. Thanks
