Show Jump Poles - Two Colour, Plastic Showjump Poles

Product Information

We don’t use plastic sleeves or paint to make our coloured bands - the plastic is formed in that colour so that it will always stay that colour and will not scratch away or come off. When you are painting with oil based paints, they take longer to dry than latex. Keep that in mind when you are painting because all your components will need to completely dry in between coats of paint. Hunter/Jumpers prefer a more classic-style fence that’s collapsible. In the hunter ring, the jumps are oftentimes natural colors and decorated with foliage. In the jumper ring, you’ll find fences that are painted in bright colors and flashy. While the hunter jumps are normally made of wood, the jumps in the jumper arena are normally made of lightweight plastic to easily fall.

And I would recommend painting as many rails that you have room for on your stands. Even if you are only needing 2 rails, but you have 5 primed and ready to go, you may as well paint them. Patience Is The Key

Ready, Set……Done! The ends of our poles are colour coded so that you can easily identify the different weights of each pole. Lightweight Poles are hollow polymer and can bend in heat/sun. To counteract this simply rotate the pole 180 degrees. The Middleweight, Heavyweight and Super Heavyweight Poles are weighted with wooden inserts encased in plastic, which is completely sealed off from external degrading factors. Horse jump rails are one of the most important pieces to consider when you take on the project of making your own horse jumps. And of all of the pieces of building your own horse jumps, the rails seem to be the most difficult part. Finding ready made round rails that are long enough to be used as horse jump poles confounds me. I am always looking for something affordable that I can use for poles.

There are numerous different types of horse jumps you can build in a course, including cross rail jumps, simple verticals, oxers, post and rail jumps, water jumps, triple bars, and more. However, you can find a large variety of horse jumps across different disciplines. We use specially formulated polymer and colourants which are all UV protected to the highest levels so the colours will not fade and the plastic will not degrade. After you have allowed the primer to dry, now it is time for the finishing paint. I prefer to use oil based paint for every component of my jumps. The oil based paint provides a very protective finish to the wood which will withstand being outside in the elements. You can use latex based paint, but it won’t last. Spend a little bit of extra money and buy oil based paint.

Horse Jumps and Jumping Equipment for Your Riding Arena

Other kinds of horse jumping equipment that we offer include one-handed jump cups that fit onto standard uprights and have no sharp corners, separate pins, or holes to align. We also have a wide variety of horse jump poles that allow you to easily adjust the height of your jumps for different challenges. A lot of people will attempt to use PVC pipe for poles, and I can understand why. They have the ‘look’ that we are trying to achieve with our homemade horse jumps. They are the perfect size, and they just look like they are perfect for poles. But, really they aren’t. PVC pipe is not intended to be used as poles for horse jumps, so please don’t be tempted to use them.

I will use grocery store bags and wrap the brush with 2 bags and store it while I am waiting for the paint to dry on whatever it is I am painting. The primer paint is necessary, so please, don’t skip it. The primer helps the paint adhere evenly to the wood, and provides the base coat. In fact, when I have been in a hurry and just wanted some white rails, or cavaletti, I apply two coats of primer, and then I have rails, poles, or cavaletti that look somewhat finished.

Depending on where you live, and what time of year it is, you can anticipate at least 12 hours of drying time. I like to paint my rails after I come home from work, and have already gotten my barn chores done. I like to do it this way because it can always be light in my garage, and I only have so many hours of daylight, or temperate weather to be with my horses. So after I have gotten my barn chores and horse work done, I will come to the garage and paint my rails. It will take me about 30 minutes to paint 6 rails. And when I’m done, I go inside and watch TV, or write an article or two. But then when I come home from work the next day, I flip the rails and paint the remaining sides.
