Be careful with the wooden standards though becaue they rot, and they can get very very heavy. And they splinter. We had wooden standards for schooling that were just like that and they were SUCH a pain to move around. I'd invest in a set of standards, and then make your jump poles. It's worth it in my opinion. :-)

Yeah - they do get heavy. But heavy is good if the horse is going to knock them. My stallion was a riot with jumps that were in standards with cups. He'd knock it on purpose just to see if he could knock it down instead of jumping it. He'd sortof jump cavaletti that didn't fall down, if you made him do it ;~D
