the plastic /light weight jumping poles and wings.
were could i get them and or does anyone knows were i could get them second hand.

Holmestead do them I think as do O'Brien's Saddlery in Bandon, Co. Cork. Jump for Joy are great too - I have used them, but get the heavier, weighted poles, because I find that the light plastic ones are great for kids etc, but the horses learn to disrespect them because they are so easy and light to knock.

:nod: the kids I teach got these from homestead. The heavier plastic poles are great and still lighter to lift than wooden poles. The light ones are far too light. Grand for kids to lift but the horses just had zero respect for them

Browne's in Portlaoise stock Polyjump products :) I have a mixture of both PolyJump and Jump4Joy poles, wings, stands and fillers, and IMO Jump4Joy is better. Holmestead stock Jump4Joy products :)

they have some brilliant looking new ones. some people I know ordered a set that are decked out like playing cards

I think the plastic poles are great as fillers - as in ground poles or to add a ground line, then have a few wooden ones for the very top of the jump.

They're good but they're crazy expensive ... I've been keeping an eye out for some second hand ones too Clonin - no joy yet - I don't think people sell them once they have them!

I've priced around and found most places in or around the same ..... I was looking at those little rectangular blocks you can use as jump ends or fillers or cavaletti.... they were about €90 for a pair most places .... anyone seen them cheaper than that? (ordering online, you have to pay so much delivery it's not really worth it for this type of thing I think...)

That's what I do - I use the lighter plastic poles as fillers and groundlines and then I use the heavy competition weight plastic poles or wooden poles for the top.

They're worth it though as they'll pretty much last forever...

Red and white road blocks also make good fillers ;)
