Examples of Home Made Horse Jumps
Stone wall and standards from free pallets.
Simple brush box with holes in bottom (use right-side-up or up-side-down like this). Home made jump cups. Duct tape stripes (see tape on top of each home-made standard :-) It has actually lasted in the weather many months so far.
In the beginning.....
All we started with was an old pole. Needs paint, but serviceable.
Standards:
Christmas Tree Stands from a thrift store. About $4 each.
2 leftover 4x4 pieces from Home Depot scrap bin: 51 cents each.
Lattice: Free scrap from Home Depot.
Ground lines: 8 ft. landscape timbers, pre-treated cherry-tone. $4 at Lowe's (but I've seen them on sale for $1.97!
Notice the home made jump cup on the near side! They're almost free to make and work great!

The pole is held up by what looks like a puzzle piece. The idea is that you can rotate it for different heights. Pallet brush boxes.
Old heavy gate sitting in plank holders made from scrap 2x4s. Pallet wall sideways for wing standards.
Fabric gate
Pallet from lawn edging. Solid but portable.
Natural logs make interesting (and cheap) poles.
Old fence planks in holders look like a fence but are movable (a requirement for us).
