Xcountry course from junk around the farm

[Native Lover]

My partner has made these jumps just from the pallets, broken fence posts and junk he find lying around the farm. There are still a few more jumps being made but here are some of the jumps. The smallest jump is about 9 inches and the biggest is 3 ft

Very good! They look safe too, no sharp edges sticking out or big holes for hooves to go through - some homemade XC courses really make me cringe! Tyres make good jump-building material too, if you go to a garage they often have used tyres that they are happy for you to take off their hands

At my old yard in Portugal the kids built an entire XC course with logs and tyres, and at my yard before that we made a course with treetrunks, barrels, blue plastic tubing etc donated by various neighbours.

Tyre jumps are next on the list

He put broken poles on top of the jumps to stop them putting there feet through them.

I am quite proud of it :bounce:

i'd be careful with the logpile and make sure it's anchored down somehow - you dont want the logs to start rolling about if your horse hits them somehow (a girl died last year by jumping over a small barrel on the ground. her horse took a rotational fall). i'd also try and fix the other jumps down somehow (at least the slight higher ones).

These jumps are for Skye and Issy. I think for bits of Junk he has made a good little course.

Wish I was confident enough to jump but I am not even Eva is only jumping with clicker training.She is not keen.
