The Palisade cross country Jump

The Palisade Horse Jump is made from organic Australian timber in a solid design used in cross country jumping. The natural wood can be ordered stained, or you can paint it to match your training arena. The Palisade Fence is positioned at 45 degree angle, that leans into the direction from which the show horse is jumping. This angle invites the horse to jump making the Palisade Horse Jump a great training tool.

Throughout history Palisades are temporary structures used to secure land boundaries around a castle or village square that is being built. At this time, it was constructed with trunks of trees, which are aligned vertically without any space between them and the shape of trunks would have a pointed top. This type of fencing around the castle would keep enemies at bay but allow the horses of the men at arms to jump into battle when needed.

At times there would be a moat dug on the outside of the fencing or it was placed on a steep hill. Now the most advanced Palisade jumps have water or ditch added so that the horse is jumping into empty space before it touches down.
