Sourcing good jumping equipment for home use must be a thankless task for any horse rider. Up until now I have been using old pine posts that have been left over by the previous owners of our property. They are all sorts of sizes and weights, mostly very heavy. They are untreated, and after two or three years in the paddock, they are beginning to split and crumble.
About a month ago, I finally purchased some treated pine poles. Nice straight ones. Three metres long, and 10cm in diameter. And since then I've been slowly making headway in painting them. First undercoat. Then two coats of white paint. Today, the final touch, the red stripes go on.
