Ride Like A Pro With Classic Showjumps
As the Olympics fast approaches and equestrian fans look forward to watching some top quality riding and amazing horses from around the world, thoughts inevitably turn to the best way to emulate the professionals. Three Day Eventing is undoubtedly one of the most exciting sports as it embraces three different disciplines, but for grassroots riders One Day Events and Hunter Trials are simpler ways to follow in the footsteps of top riders.
Since 2000 the spotlight has fallen on the dangers involved in the cross country phase of eventing, and measures are being employed to help riders stay safe when competing. However, the best way to improve safety for horse and rider is to ensure that they are both suitably trained and competing at the correct level. Over-facing a novice horse or rider leads to mistakes and possibly injury so practicing at home over a variety of fences is a good place to start when working up the ranks towards future Olympic glory!
Classic Showjumps has introduced a brand new set of Pro-Jumps Mobile Cross Country Jumps to its extensive range of wooden and plastic showjumps and cross country obstacles. These new rustic-looking fences provide the look of solid, wooden jumps, but are made of strong and durable plastic, providing safety and mobility. The students at Hartpury College in Gloucestershire are now enjoying a safe introduction to cross country using the Pro-Jumps range and as the jumps can be placed in an enclosed arena, the students are building their confidence daily.
Practicing cross country needs to involve a variety of jumps in changing situations, for instance variations in light and shade, uphill and downhill approaches, tight corners and combinations. The Pro-Jumps Mobile Cross Country Range allows the jumps to be placed in any situation, preparing the horse and rider for what they could face in competition.
Available in a variety of styles and sizes, the Pro-Jumps Mobile Cross Country range is easy to use and store, being made from lightweight recycled and recyclable plastic. The durable polymer material provides strength and the smooth joins and careful construction ensures the jumps will not break and splinter when struck.
Whether working towards your first event or riding at the top level, preparation and practice is vital to give you the winning edge. Choose Classic Showjumps to keep you on track and make sure you’re ready for anything.
