Yippee! Cavalettis as an agent for change

I made cavalettis this weekend :clap:
I bought 8 pressure treated round fence posts at Home Depot for $6 each, brought them home and made my slaves, er ummm sons, sand them and paint stripes on them. I also got some cinder blocks to use to vary the height.
I tell myself this is to improve my dressage and I am sure it will. But why do I keep cleaning my Stubben Siegfried then? I think I feel the call of the dark side :yes:
Not eventing, I haven't totally lost it :lol: But I am fitting back into my TS side zips and I love to be able to wear a little color in the ring :woot:

Can a DQ make a seamless transition into an HP? You guys have so many more wardrobe options :cheer:

Yeah HPs!! DQs are ok too, i guess. LOL :P

thanks for posting how you made the cavalettis, if i were talented and it wasn't -2 degrees i would do the same because it sounds pretty simple (note: sounds, in reality i'll probably never finish them)

where did you get the cinder blocks?

I think they are about 8 feet long and about 4+ inches in diameter.

And justkidding, it wasn't very much work at all, especially with the slaves er umm kids. I'll rent them out ;)
