Jump N Trail

Does your horse need to “look” more at obstacles while warming up for trail or over-fences classes? When plain white poles aren’t enough, consider the Jump N Trail training tool. Created by world champion trainer Christy Wood for her clients, it features a heavy vinyl panel with an attention-grabbing design on one side that reverses to a bright mountain scene on the other.

The vinyl is fade-resistant—so you can leave it outdoors year’round—and strong enough to withstand shod feet (you can even walk horses over it for additional training). Jump N Trail is easy to clean and portable, too, so you can take it with you to shows. A pole pocket at the bottom stabilizes the panel when hung off a jump pole or secures it in place as a trail obstacle. To see Jump N Trail in use, visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLkp1zomMTA.
