Abstract
An equestrian jumping device using telescopic standards which adjust the height of the jump. The jump height is determined by placing an elongated cup having a pin into predetermined holes positioned on the telescopic posts. The elongated cup and adjustable posts enable one to create a corner obstacle comprising of two poles and three standards. The two poles meet at one end in the elongated cup and then proceed in opposite directions to form a triangle or corner. The advantage of the adjustable standard eliminates the standard from protruding above the pole which could injure either horse or rider.
Claims13
An obstacle for use in equestrian jumping comprising:
- at least three vertical members positioned so as to form a substantially triangular array having a central vertical member and two outlying vertical members;
- at least two horizontal members each having two ends and each extending from one of the outlying vertical members to said central vertical member;
- and
- a support movably fastened to a portion of said central vertical member, said support having a width sufficient to receive an end of each horizontal member adjacent one another, at the same elevation, and without having a substantial portion of said vertical members extending above said support wherein said support includes a flat plate having wings projecting upwardly from side edges thereof;
- a support plate projecting upwardly from a rear edge of said flat plate and in substantially perpendicular relation thereto, said support plate including an arm projecting outwardly therefrom and disposed in perpendicular relation to said support plate, said arm including a bore sized so as to receive a pin.
An obstacle for use in equestrian jumping comprising:
- two vertical members positioned apart;
- at least one horizontal member having two ends and extending from one of said vertical members to the other;
- and
- two supports, one movably fastened to a portion of each vertical member with no portion of said vertical members disposed higher than said supports wherein each of said two supports includes a flat plate having wings projecting upwardly from side edges thereof;
- a support plate projecting upwardly from a rear edge of said flat plate and in substantially perpendicular relation thereto, said support plate including an arm projecting outwardly therefrom and disposed in perpendicular relation to said support plate, said arm including a bore sized so as to receive a pin.
