STACKABLE CAVALLETTI
We have 2 styles of our standard length, and 2 of our skinny stackable Cowan Cavalletti.
The tallest cavaletti is ideal for riders who like to jump train: the Jump cavalletti and the skinny version, the Skinny Jump cavalletti. They are about 385mm high – see the photo below of the tallest cross stand. The shortest cavaletti which dressage and pleasure riders enjoy are the Versatile, for the standard length cavaletti and the Skinny Lizzie for the skinny version at about 250mm high.
Our Cavaletti are easy to assemble with two bolt holding the pole in place.
By adding a pole to the cradle the height is increased and there is more jump training options. We sell sets that have matching poles that can sit in the cavaletti cradle.
If you prefer more flat work, the Versatile is definitely for you. It will build your confidence with raised trot work and gives the options to start jumping your horse. You can start with the cavalletti on its side, and it is like our Mini 180mm high, a raised trot pole. Make it higher by placing the cavalletti in its upright position. Even at this height the cavalletti is a higher raised trot pole and many horses will consider this a jump. Add a pole on top and it becomes as high as the Jump Cowan Cavalletti. Gradually increase its height by stacking another Versatile and then another pole…
If you want a particular colour that we do not have in our shop, please request as we are constantly changing to meet our customers preferences.
Our Skinny Jump and Skinny Lizzie are 1280mm long half the length of our regular Cowan Cavalletti. If you are an Eventer and need to train to jump skinny jumps or have a limited area for schooling your horse the Skinny stackables are ideal.
Raised Trot Poles
The Mini Cowan Cavalletti is a popular tool to inject elevation into your trot. It is the ultimate raised trot pole: easy to move around, even when leading a horse. No more poles rolling under horses feet with this design. The raised trot poles are 180mm high and come in two lengths: the Mini is 2570mm long and the Skinny Mini is 1280mm long.
The pole is bolted to the stands with a bolt, the bolt head is recessed into the stand from the base. The stands are made from H5 treated pine and the poles are H4 treated. All our products are hand painted with Resene’s premium eco paints: one undercoat and two top coats. The stands are always painted white. Initially we used to sell the Mini, and the Skinny Mini in just white, but now we offer various colour combinations so that people can have colours that reflect their personalities. Customers can request a particular colour combination.
Skinny Mini with flowers
Add fill to training with the Cowan Cavalletti Skinny Mini. It is a fun alternative to heavier wooden fillers used in show jump and show hunter courses. We drill seven holes in our Skinny Mini and our customers choose their own floral arrangement to poke into the holes. This can be used as a jump in itself or as a filler in front of a jump. Note flowers are not included.
