Just after anyones ideas for scary fillers that I can put underneath my jumps for scary mary. I'm only jumping pretty small at the minute, so small stuff to fit underneath would be good, and even better if it's free or cheap.

I love the idea of those plastic covers you put on bales on straw etc, and those banners you can roll down, however I would prefer free or cheap!
 
Shop mannequin(you might find shop with broken one) and find clothes that are bright, halloween masks, plastic flowers they move and can be scary, Make a scarecrow?
 
I've just found a broken inflatable mattress (camping one) which I plan to use for a water tray and to drap over fences, etc. Thought it would be easier to move about and store than actual water trays!
 
Feedbags stuffed with straw.
Taupalin or shower curtain or tablecloth secured with poles as a water.
Hang above items over a pole.
Tub trugs under fences.
Traffic cones.
Straw bales.

Can you tellI have filler issues?
 
Plastic bags tied so they blow in the wind. Feed bags both on the floor as trays and stuffed full. Also can makes holes in them and hang them from poles so the bottom moves in the breeze. But tie it at the bottom so wind doesn't blow it above the pole :)
Coloured water containers. Bright coloured feed/water bowls. Coats draped over poles.
 
I found the best free fillers are old banner stands. Just cut the material free from the banner stand and there you have a very nice hanging filler/ditch!
You may want to contact a printing company as at work return our banner stands to be reused, however the printed material goes to waste I believe.
I also looked on eBay and Preloved for cheap old wooden doors, used the wood to make fillers.
At the yard we have an old sand pit as a water tray.
 
I make them! my pony is scared of fillers, so i got some cheap paint, cheap ply wood and painted them in crazy designs! a quick coat of varnish and they are fab. Once ive finished with them and ready to start with different fillers, ive sold them for £10 each

Ive really enjoyed doing them and my pony is far less scared now!

Bunting attached to the poles, a few windmills stuck in the ground underneath, dolls and teddies lined up underneath, or how about a bunch of balloons tied to both of the Jump wings.
