How To: Build a Homemade Horse Jump for Less Than $30

Hi everyone! In this video I show you the complete jump building process including the rails and standards of a horse jump. This is just the basics, so no paint is included in the final cost, that would be extra :)
The material you need to build this horse jump:
3 cherry tone landscape timbers 8 foot long
2 2 x 4 x 8 pieces of wood
2 pair of jump cups
3" deck screws
And then if you want to get fancy, sandpaper, caulk and paint.

To all the people.... watching during quarantine.....

[@travelingmike40]

Thank you, my 11 year old daughter wanted jumps, I ordered the cups, and in about 2 hours they were done. Old paint and 85$ trip to home depot, I used treated 2x4s and copper green to all ends. I am using the landscape stakes(green) for crosses, much lighter and hopefully easier on the horse when she hits them. Thanks again.

[@joannmoeller5467]

I’m watching this now in 2020 and when u showed the mask, I was like yeah u can get them anywhere and then I was like oh this video was made 6 years ago 😂

[@torisweatt6481]

[@nataleighequestrian2950]

[@MicaelaGutierrez2004]

Summer building here I come !! Thank you, as I have a chunky mare that is pretty spooky about just white jumps 😅

[@katieferguson9335]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Very easy to follow and will save me a lot of money!

[@spannerclyde6832]

Thank god my dad used to be an engineer and now installs kitchens and other furniture! He brings home crap tonnes of wood and has a ridiculous amount of tools :D

[@hollychallinor3402]

[@sophias9180]

I like this a lot!

[@spickandspanhomeorganising2836]

This is brilliant!!! Thank you!!!!! 💕

[@MsNumber1rider]

using washers with your screws would help with strength & keep the screw from driving into the wood. just adding nice large washers really help with the strength of the project in total

[@abbyw2098]

I love this video it it very helpful 👍

[@halmain7406]

Good video

[@christiwilliams7448]

Awesome! What is the size /model of Dremel, and sanding bits you’re using? Thank U!

[@maegan2405]

I don't have a horse but I really want one but my dad could literally build this in like...20 minutes, he build a humongous chicken coop for my 12 chickens and 3 ducks and it took him about an hour because it was 10 ft by 5 ft

[@BudgetEquestrian]

Hi Maegan And Dorothy :) That is awesome! Building the jumps goes faster and faster the more I do them. I don't think I could build one in 20 minutes though lol :)

[@spannerclyde6832]

I hope you end up getting a horse :)

[@ellejuhl.equestrian5910]

This absolutely perfect for me because I’m not spending all that money to by a jump when I can just make one for about $27

[@TheAlharland]

What size wood bit did You use to drill the holes

[@rainyday1928]

I wonder if cut pvc pipes could act as jump cups?

[@debbiehouchens2278]

Are you using landscape timbers for the poles?

[@henrybaker2721]

What kind of jump cups do you use?

[@idekanymore4331]

What size do you make the jump cup holes?? I’m sorry if you said it I didn’t hear it?

[@MsNumber1rider]

where do you get your jump cups? thanks

[@camillagrassi93]

Hey great video. Where did you get those exact jump cups?

[@BudgetEquestrian]

I got these from Horse.Com, they were about $6.00 per pair, but if you buy 4 or more pair they are even cheaper

[@jaclyn4950]

OMG go to 1:52

[@lucygilbert5340]

What size is the drill hole?

[@loritait3561]

lol and can i use a saw instead of a disk thing lol x

[@ariespetstyling1858]

Wherr or what jump cups

[@jessica_equine8689]

where do you buy jump cups? how much are they? what do you use for the poles?

[@Rose-dz5re]

Jessica_Equine you can buy steel ones for $5 on smartpack. Amazon and Dover also sell jump cups

[@joannab7299]

Is there something cheap you can add to the bottom to fill the space?

[@kylee0013]

Nikki The Fox you can get little wooden boxes or maybe some baskets and fill with fake flowers! Super cheap and super easy

[@joannab7299]

Kyleee Nicole thanks!

[@funtimes1166]

How long did it take you to do it

[@BudgetEquestrian]

The first time, it took me a weekend to build a jump. Now I can build a jump like this in about 3 hours, but that is only the building, like this video. To prime and paint adds more time, because the paint has to dry, and if you add stripes to the rails, that takes longer too. The more you do it, the faster you get.

[@emmalee4520]

is the 8 the thickness? - i live in australia, these measurements confuse me.

[@Acaciakali]

What size drill bit did you use

[@BudgetEquestrian]

I have used a 1/2" bit with the best results

[@equestrianlifestyle9871]

just wondering wether i can use a hand held saw instead of a circular saw?

[@BudgetEquestrian]

Hi Equestrian Lifestyle :) I think you can use whatever type of saw you have. I have tried with other types, but it was really hard to do. When I first got my circular saw, I was afraid of it, so I had my husband do the cutting for me.

[@equestrianlifestyle9871]

thank you!

[@peyton7454]

where did you buy the jump cups????????

[@lgoodwin80107]

+AP& Horses I buy the jump cups from Horse.com, or Stateline Tack because they have sales all the time. I can usually buy them for around 4.00 a pair, if I buy 6 or more at a time. Just watch for their sales when they offer 25% off.

[@peyton7454]

ok thank you

[@signeconley2658]

Where did you get your cups

[@BudgetEquestrian]

I get my jump cups from State Line Tack, they are about $4.50 a piece, but the more you buy, the cheaper they are. I usually buy over 6 pair at a time, and they cost about $4.00 a pair, which is way cheaper than even making homemade jump cups. Thank you for watching my video :)

[@EliannaCH]

what if i didnt edge it off?

[@showjumpinluv]

What is that saw type called?

[@BudgetEquestrian]

It is a radial arm saw.

[@mmequinecenterllc9541]

Thank you!

[@karaline2680]

I can’t get the holes straight

[@jaydenbrumous2582]

This time I'just go to woodprix if you'd like to make it yourself.

[@loritait3561]

[@katiepickette5460]
