Claims14
An equestrian jump cup attachable to an equestrian jump standard to support an equestrian jump pole, the equestrian jump cup comprising:
- a curved plate dimensioned to support an end of the equestrian jump pole;
- a mounting member attachable to the equestrian jump standard;
- and
- a hinge between the curved plate and the mounting member so that the curved plate is rotatable relative to the mounting member so that the equestrian jump pole can be positioned to extend in different horizontal angles relative to the jump standard, without reattachment of the mounting member.

An equestrian jump corner obstacle comprising:
- two equestrian jump poles extending at acute horizontal angles relative to each other;
- a single corner jump standard with the two jump poles extending at acute angles away from the single corner jump standard;
- two end jump standards forming end supports for the two jump poles, the two end jump standards being positioned in opposite angled directions relative to the single corner jump standard;
- a jump cup mounted on the single corner jump standard, the jump cup comprising a mounting member with two separate curved plates hinged relative to the mounting member and supporting ends of the jump poles adjacent the single corner jump standard, the two separate curve plates being mutually rotatable and rotatable to the mounting member about an axis parallel to the corner jump standard.

An equestrian jump obstacle comprising:
- two equestrian jump poles;
- two end jump standards forming end supports for the two jump poles;
- a single inner jump standard with the two jump poles extending in opposite directions away from the from the single interior jump standard;
- a jump cup mounted on the single inner jump standard, the jump cup comprising a mounting member with two curved plates hinged relative to the mounting member and supporting ends of the jump poles adjacent the single corner jump standard so that the jump poles can extend in horizontal directions away from the single inner jump standard at any angle up to one hundred eighty degrees, depending upon the relative positions of the two end jump standards.
