You can make a horse jump by whispering "Tesco" in his ear!

 

Boom! Boom!

it about a foot drop for the pole if the pin brakes and the screws work very well

yes to stop the horse rolling over the pole and landing on the rider

if you use nails wen the horses continual bang them the nails work loose when we made them we used spax screws miles better imo.

 

 

perhaps but you have to prize off so potentially putting extra pressure on trapped limbs if unscrewed it doesnt do that.

and with modern cordless tools its pretty quick to undo

not saying your wrong chris its just what i was taught

 

Can see where you're coming from

 

I can only go on what I was told at the time - thankfully that was a several years ago now an I don't get involved with them anymore

A few pics off the old computer.

 

I never got into doing static fences but found the portable cross country ones were quite good as quite often you could hire them out for an event and usually sell them straight off the course to deliver on the way home.

 

About half of the ones in the paddock at Askham Bryan are some of the first I did - probably about 2005/2006 and they seem to have stood the test of time fairly well

 

What used to be a good seller on the showjumps was the mini wings - looked like a normal set but scaled down to about 3ft tall and with 8ft poles and fillers.
