Get some rails from local wood merchant normally pretty cheap its what i use personally work really well either use half rounds or full rounds

Try agricultural suppliers, they sell post & rail fencing & you should be able to get the round rails reasonably priced from them. They should have them in either 3" or 4" diameter.

Scats had some about £3.50 for 8ft ones.

I've been told that the tubes that carpets are rolled onto make fantastic jumping poles, especially if painted. I was told to ask in a carpet warehouse and they give them for free.

Hi friends,

Learnt to jump in NW Scotland, over metal poles with sacking tied round, then progressed to a riding school in Liverpool who used any branches they could find!

Then my family moved to Cheshire, we ask local bloke for poles, + price differed - ie, whether they were for agricultural use, or horsey ?!!!! Let's all be careful - sometimes it seems like us horsey folk are easy picking, as we're so willing to pay?

Hi, My-Chestnut-Mare, with all the forestry in Aberdeenshire, it'd be nice if you had access to a few poles, as a local resident, and i sincerely hope that you soon will. My only knowledge of cheap (+ good) poles is Clear Round in Cheshire (01745 no.), + i'm going back a few years, but may be worth a Google?

Hoping we've all helped, given more ideas, etc, all bests, BS x
