Jump Stands: Sturdy wings and jump cups for your jumping training

Sturdy jump stands and safe jump cups are the foundation of relaxed jumping. Here you will find stands, blocks and cups for your own arena.

Jump Stands: jumping safely in your own arena

Jump stands hold the poles at the height you want and form the jump together with them. They need to stand firmly and support the poles so that they fall if knocked. In our range you will find aluminium jump stands with a cup track, pole blocks and plastic cavaletti blocks, jump cups for uprights and oxers, as well as wings and pole fillers for building a more inviting fence.

Stands, tracks and blocks

Stands made of aluminium are light, do not rust and can be adjusted to any height along the cup track. Plastic blocks are especially practical for low jumps and cavaletti, because they are quick to set up and carry very little risk of injury. Wings give the jump a side boundary and guide your horse towards the fence. With pole fillers you can quickly build varied combinations.

Jump cups and safety

The cups decide whether a pole falls when your horse makes a mistake. Flat cups are important for the back pole of an oxer so your horse cannot get caught. Before training, check that all cups are secure and that no empty cups are sticking out. Remove empty cups when no jump is set up. Adjust the height to the level of horse and rider and increase it gradually.

Frequently asked questions

How high should I jump with my leisure horse?
Start with small cross poles or low uprights that your horse can pop over easily from trot. Height matters less than a clean rhythm and a relaxed horse. Only go higher when both are working reliably.

Can I leave jump stands outside?
Aluminium and plastic stands are weatherproof and cope with rain. To make them last, move them to the side after training so they do not get in the way when the surface is harrowed. Loose cups are best put away.

What is the difference between an upright and an oxer?
An upright has just one plane of poles stacked above each other. An oxer consists of two pairs of stands one behind the other and is therefore wider. For an oxer you need four stands and suitable flat cups for the back pole.

Stands, cups and blocks for your course

With the right jump stands you can build safe and varied fences in your own arena. Aluminium stands with a cup track are light, weatherproof and quick to adjust in height. Plastic blocks are ideal for low jumps, gymnastic lines and cavaletti and can be set up without tools. Jump cups for uprights and oxers make sure the pole falls if your horse makes a mistake. Wings guide your horse straight to the fence and make training feel more like a real competition. Check that all parts are secure, put away empty cups and adjust the height to suit horse and rider. That way jumping stays a safe pleasure for you both. After training, move stands and blocks to the edge of the arena so the surface is clear for harrowing and ready for the next ride.
