agility equipment

does anyone know where the best place to buy agility equipment is?
i dont want tacky stuff that is going to break.

ive got a hall booked to run puppy classes, but ive decided that i may use it so indie can do agility too. so she will have her own private agility class! lol. she cant go to group classes because of her aggression, but the hall is very cheap, so i figure why not.

ive just been refunded my bank charges, so i finally have enough money to buy some stuff.

so, anyone know of a good site to get agility stuff delivered

If you look on the agility websites. They all have equipment. You are restricted inside especially if the hall has a wooden or concrete floor. This rules out jumping with the dog, even if it's carpeted. Slow directional work is the norm. Even tunnels are a pain as it's difficult to fix them down inside. We are lucky with our agility club as we have use of an equine arena in the winter.

asking my parents if i can use their field once a week!
trouble is they are 45 mins from me...

but at least i could store equipment there and they already have jumps.

The OH does agility and they use an indoor equine arena in the winter. It has a special floor with rubber chippings on the top but they are not allowed to use fixing pegs as it punctures the underlay.

They use large water containers instead to weigh the fixing down and they work really well with the tunnel.

was it mahooli that made the equipment???

it was really good - looked professional and lightweight

you should ask her how to make it - a lot cheaper to make than buy apparantly
