Wooden Horse Jump Poles In Striped Weatherproof Casing

Horse Jump Poles with Stripes

Our horse jump poles are encapsulated in a protective polyethylene to make them long lasting and waterproof. We start with a sustainably sourced, 3.25 inch thick solid wood pole. We then encapsulate the pole in .25 inches of maintenance free, all-weather polyethylene casing. The end result is completely sealed, 3.5-inch thick jump pole that never need to be painted, and will survive any weather condition. Imagine no annual maintenance, not having to worry about picking poles up off the ground or putting them away for the winter.

Solid wood poles encapsulated in an all weather, maintenance free casing
- Weatherproofing
- Never paint again!
- 3.5 inches thick after the finish (regulation thickness)
- UV stabilized colors won’t fade
- Weight and feel is just like a regular pole

The Burlingham Sports Perfect Pole has the weight of natural wood (because it’s made of natural wood) plus the long-lasting, color retaining durability of molded plastic.

Multiple Solid Colors, Stripes And Length Wooden Jump Poles

Both the 10 foot and the 12 foot Burlingham Perfect Poles are available in 11 UV stabilized colors. White 8 foot horse poles are available as well as unfinished natural wood jump rails measuring 3 1/2″ in diameter.

Jump Poles with Stripes

Stripes are available “built in” on the 10 foot and the 12 foot poles. For the 8 foot poles, we’re unable to produce a stripe that’s centered properly so we’re not able to offer “built in” stripes on the 8 foot poles.

The stripes on these equestrian jumps are molded into the polyethylene, giving the pole a seamless change of color that will not fade, rub off, or need repainting. The manufacturing process behind the Burlingham Sports Perfect Pole with stripes eliminates the issues associated with painting equestrian jump poles. These include factors such as chipping and peeling. These make the poles last WAY longer. They will not warp like regular wooden poles, or fade like paint, they won’t rot like wooden poles, or break as easily (well wood doesn’t break THAT easy but they do break) as wooden poles, they are far heavier than PVC poles and even slightly heavier than most standard wooden poles, all in all, these are the ultimate jump pole for any arena.

What is the best XC Boot?

We carry many different brands of cross country boots for horses – all of them are good, otherwise, we wouldn’t have them. Fit is one of the biggest factors to finding the best cross country boot. Click on the tab above to find the measurements of the Kentucky eventing boots. The next factor for finding the best cross country boot is your preference on strike plates. Some people don’t like them, some people like them – the Kentucky eventing boots have strike plates on the front & hind boots. It’s made of a strong material that is not going to shatter.

If you don’t like the idea of a strike plate, try out the Ecogold XC boots – they come in three different sizes, too. If you’re looking for a flexible plate, try the new Boyd Martin XC boots. The final element to finding the perfect xc boot is the color. These are brown and only come in brown right now. PEI xc boots come in black or white and have strike plates.

When it comes to quality, Christ lambskin dressage girths are the best dressage girths out there – also great as a cross country girth or endurance girth for those multi-day distance races.

Christ sheepskin dressage girth after cross-country phase

This girth is great for both the dressage and the cross country phase. Easy to clean & super durable!

Fitting Your Christ Contour Girth / Dressage Girth

For the best fit possible, it is important that you know that there is no elastic in this girth. We call this a “dressage girth” because it requires a saddle with long billets – that’s not technically just a dressage saddle – it’s any saddle with long billets including some cross country and SJ saddles. Keep the length of your billets in mind when ordering your new Lammfelle contour girth. If you are between sizes, try a girth extender as a possible solution.
