Hi there today I’m going to show you how to set up the distances in your jumping
chute so that you can free jump your horse and your own arena.

So, let’s get started name is Laura and welcome to another video.

If it’s your first time here  – HEY ! How’s it going and if you’d like to improve your riding and training and generally like other horse related stuff then you should subscribe to this channel hit the bell icon so you don’t miss anything.

I’ve been free schooling free jumping horses once a week and it is so much fun I did a live
video on it showing some video and it turned out really crappy so I decided to redo the video.

We are in an enclosed area we use the arena at Fraser Field Farms thanks Robyn shoutout to Robin and really easy to do you just have to have some jump rails some jump standards and what we used from the dollar store is caution tape it’s that wide yellow tape that we just wrapped around the jumps so here you can see the before video so this is the arena it’s your regular dome type arena regular dressage ring size 20 meters by 40 meters so 66 feet by 132 feet. Really easy and you don’t have to have spent any special equipment.

You can see that this is the before setup have you ever used a jump shoot put it in the comments below of how you set it up and what distance is used so we took the work out of all the measuring as well we took a measuring tape and measured the distances between the jumps and when you measure the distances between the jumps remember to measure inside-to-inside so we measure the inside of the pole to the inside of the pole here’s where the pole on the ground

That’s Robin using the pole to measure and you can see here we did 18 feet this is because in the perfect world that I wanted to work in that I wanted to do a 9 foot rail 18 feet to a jump and then 21 feet to the next jump.
