After many years of building and observing cross-country courses and the manner in which they were ridden, Mr. Dunlop felt there must be a better way for both horse and rider to achieve a rhythmic, balanced style whilst developing a clean, accurate jumping technique. The aim is, to provide all riders with a true cross-country sport with knock-down fences. Combining the excitement of cross-country with the accuracy of show jumping. Not as intimidating as solid fences for horse or rider, yet commanding balance, skill and respect in order to jump them cleanly.
The patented design of the JumpCross course, enables the poles to fall away from the horse should he knock them. This vastly reduces the possibility of rider injury should the horse hit the fence, it will not topple over, merely run through it. This, along with the sturdy, shatter-proof, weather-proof plastic of which the course is constructed, not to mention the 'patented' jump cups, with their round edges and unique design, poses less risk to both the horse and rider in this age of extreme sports, with 'Safety Awareness'' being paramount in all spheres of sport and leisure. Appealing to a wide age and ability range, JumpCross is suitable for any equestrian enthusiast who enjoys the cross-country experience! JumpCross is able to offer training and competition, in order to maximise skill and effectiveness potential. Training will provide you with all the tools required to effectively and confidently tackle a JumpCross competition course, right down to a rules brief!
