Jumping Poles for Sale

[schneeko]

Anyone know where I can get cheap(ish) plastic poles for our yard. We're all going to pitch in but we'd like to find some that aren't too expensive as we're all a bit skint. We're in Hampshire if that makes any difference

Not sure about plastic but you can pick up really cheap wood poles from your local wood yard / saw mills.

Yh, that was my idea but they want plastic ones

I guess we have some small people using them

an old friend of mine used to make her own, using guttering drainpipes.. plastic end caps and a couple of handfuls of sand to give the poles a little bit of substance and weight so that if the horse knocks them they fall to the ground and are not taken along with the horse through the air, she used to also use some electrical tape to add stripes and patterns etc to make them more like what you would find in competition arenas

Keep an eye out for second hand ones on ebay.

These need to be collected, but maybe the seller would let you arrange a courier?
