Obstacles for showjumping and jumping at home
Obstacles for the jumping course have become more and more colourful and unusual in the course of time. There are almost no limits to the design. This variety is also a challenge for the horses. It is therefore an advantage to use high-quality and differently coloured obstacle poles and stands for regular jumping training.
Are you looking for equipment for the jumping course? No problem - you can also find the right supplier for this. Whether oxer, vertical or a wall - with About Horses you can inform yourself about suppliers who sell or rent the suitable jumping course for you. Or simply ask if you want to order your advertising obstacle.
Pole work for a varied training with your horse
Would you like to diversify your horse's training and include gymnastic work in your training plan? Ideal for this is working over poles or cavalettis. Use crotch, trot and gallop poles to activate the horse's hindquarters, arch up the back and improve the horse's pace.
Dual lanes are also suitable for everyday training. In well thought-out courses consisting of laid alleys made of yellow and blue foam poles, the aim is to increase the horse's concentration and straightness.
Are you looking for obstacle material for your riding stable, your riding club or for your private training with the horse? Find what you're looking for at About Horses and contact the supplier that's right for you.


Gymnastics with cavalettis for your horse
Working with cavalettis is an easy way to gymnasticise the horse in a varied way. The cavaletti serves the strengthening of the musculature, promotion of the cadence and gives the horse more expression and security. A combination of cavalettis at different heights and distances and breaking in from different gaits does not limit the variety of the training.
Cavalettis also help to improve the rider's sense of distance and rhythm in jumping training. Rows, in-and-outs at a distance of approx. 3 m and other combinations increase the horse's reflexes and jumping power.
Cavalettis are available in various designs - as a single part with attached side panels, with individual plastic blocks or even made of foam blocks - About Horses helps you to find the right supplier for your new cavaletti.
Obstacles for eventing
Eventing obstacles differ significantly from obstacles for the jumping course because they have a stable basic construction made of solid wood. Even with terrain obstacles, the design variants are in no way inferior to those of oxer and verticals - only with the difference that these are built stable and often anchored in the ground.
Due to the massive construction method, the safety of the terrain obstacles is strongly in the focus.
