How to set up a simple cross rail jump is a very helpful piece of equipment. A cross rail is helpful if you are just beginning to jump and even if you and your horse are experienced with jumping, a cross rail is a great tool to utilize in your training.

To build this jump will cost you around $30.00 at the time of me making this video.

To create this jump you will need:
1 pair of schooling jump standards
1 pair of jump cups
2 rails(whatever you have will work, regardless of the length)

You will put the jump cups on the standards. Usually I do this on one of the highest holes. This will make more of a pronounced "X" and will encourage your horse to stay in the middle of the jump, because the middle part is the lowest.
This helps to give you a visual as well to keep your horse going over the center of the jump.

If you built a jump a week for 2 months, you could have a nice set of jumps, and a lot of equipment you could use for schooling your horse!

And setting up a cross rail is a great tool to encourage you to get jumping, as well as cross rails will build your confidence, and your horse's too!

Thanks so much for watching! If you found this video helpful, please share it with others who love horses, and want to build their own jumps!
