Novelty Horse Jumps

Just because you ride a show horse, doesn't mean that your whole life has to be serious. While taking care of such a large creature is also a major responsibility, there are many ways that you can enjoy your rides and your training exercises to physically prepare your horse for competition without mentally boring yourself to death from repetition. One of the ways to do this is to change up the way you look at horse jumps and the obstacle course altogether. Who says you have to always use traditional jumps and materials, especially on your home course?

Indeed, there are no rules when it comes to your own horse and your own course. Manufacturers of horse jumps know this and many will design alternative pieces for your gate fillers and other course accessories. This makes riding your home course less tedious and more interesting, as you can change the pieces up as you see fit. While you shouldn't get too comfortable with them, since it is highly unlikely that you will see such pieces in a formal competition, they can really help you to focus on the task at hand instead of how drab your practice course might be.

Alternative horse jumps might include pieces with much brighter colors, like walls that are fire-engine red. They might also include dice on a stand, which although unrelated, is still a fun alternative to the norm. In fact, there are many different kinds of dice stands to hold up your jump bars. You can even find pieces that are shaped to look like dominos or traffic lights and other familiar knick-knacks. Flower troughs help to bring some natural color and beauty to your course, while custom-made banners and gates make for a more personalized course experience that will remind you that your pride is on the line at your next competition.
