2.0 out of 5 stars Suitable more for kids than adults, January 4, 2003

"hwilent" (Sunnyvale, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Making Your Own Jumps (Threshold Picture Guides) (Paperback)

It is not the book to purchase if you want to build stadium jumps (brush box, coops, panels) - there is some information on building cross country jumps, but there is a lack of detail and no step-by-step instructions.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Making Your Own Jumps (Threshold Picture Guides) (Paperback)

It was a super book. For people who don't want to spend outreageos ammounts of money on jumps this is the book for you! With so many pictures and diagrams it was hard not to understand it. I reccomend it to people who ride English and have there own farm!

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware!!, June 27, 2005

Katherine Taylor Dove "showjumper" (Lubbock, TX) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Making Your Own Jumps (Threshold Picture Guides) (Paperback)

This book is NOT for a person that want's to know how to build jumps by a step by step process. It has some information on how to build nice cross country fences. But, I was unable to use this book to build any arena fences. I would spend your money on something else!

does not really tell how to make them-- only some pictures-- save the money and go to some horse trial facility websites for similar or better pictures.

1.0 out of 5 stars Complete waste of money
This is not a "book", this is barely even a "pamphlet". Complete waste of money!
