The Broad Jump is a common obstacle in all levels of agility, and obedience. The challenge of this strange looking jump is for your dog to jump over the boards, in between the 4 marker poles, not run on top of it or sideways through the poles. Also called the Long Jump, its challenge is for your dog to jump over the boards, between the marker poles. Our Practice Version of the Broad jump features boards that are weatherproof vinyl / plastic, which are designed to nest inside each other for compact storage and portability. Each set has four boards, how many you use depends on your dogs size. The boards are variegated in size, both in ascension, and in length. Please note, the boards, and poles, ship undecorated, as plain white pieces. The boards, and poles, can be decorated with the included tape, as shown, or any selected pattern. The Practice Broad Jump includes 4 marker poles that are inserted into sleeves on the boards so you can use this set indoors or out. Red and Blue Vinyl tape rolls are included to put decorative stripes on the boards as well as on the poles.
