Looking to buy some jumps...

[Mollymillymoo]

I am looking to buy in the nearish future a few jumps just for schooling with at home, permitting our neighbours who own the arena we borrow are ok with letting us do this.

Just to be sre this doesn't sound too cheeky does it? We have lovely kind neighbours who let us use their arena for free despite us offering to pay. They have had a number of horses in the past but now only have one retired hunter, so they don't use their arena anymore. My mum keeps telling me it would be rude to ask them if I could bring my jump down to use as we are bored brianless of just doing flat work and can't jump in our field now cos of the mud. I would offer to pay to do this but my mum insists I don't? Would you consider it rude to this? Anyway if I the neighbours are happy with it I will at some point be buying a few more jumps...

How many jumps would you buy for a 20x40? I already have a pair of little polyjump wings and 5 poles, was thinking of buying 6x1.5m wings and 7 more poles. How many jumps would you usually set up in a 20x40?

Thanks for reading!

I don't think it would be rude to ask at all!

I think between 4-6 jumps would be about enough in that size of arena. You could save a bit of money by buying the pole-type wings that let you hang poles off any side, that way you could use one wing for more than one jump (don't think I've explained that very well!)

at a PUSH i can get 8 in if you know how to angle them all! but its not really worth it anyway..

No I don't think it's rude as long as you ask them of course... don't see why it should bother them
