Hi I’m Suzi my husband & I started The Jump Shack in 2016.
I was sick of painting poles to keep my jump arena colorful. So, I put my thinking cap on and thought, surely I can create something to save the messy timely painting of poles.
Voila !! The Jump Shack was created. With the help of Scott & my 3 boys, cutting and sewing on the verandah of our home, we developed a workshop full of coloured PVC.
I started with coloured sleeves to slide onto poles. I was asked by a lady in the Hunter NSW to make a Chevron ( I didn't even know what a chevron was !!). This led me to start designing planks, fill, Liverpools and more. I believe I created the first Liverpool that could be posted Australia wide!
I love creating colourful designs to brighten up your Show Jump arena whether be at home, a club or Ag Show. In creating these bright colourful sleeves & planks it has helped me personally to desensitize my horses, so bright fill at comps are not scary!!
The Pole Sleeves, Planks, Liverpools & other items are all light weight & very durable for the Australian climate, mine are in my arena 24 /7, all year round! They are light enough to be posted, for the coach to fold up and take to clinics to add a bit of pizzazz.
I have created many designs, including a range of custom designs as I take pride in each and every item that I handmake. I have posted items all over Australia and to New Zealand.
I look forward to hearing from you to help brighten up your Show Jumping arena
Why PVC
At The Jump Shack, all of our products are made from high-quality PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) — a strong, flexible plastic material known for its durability and weather resistance. It's widely used in outdoor and industrial settings, making it the perfect choice for equestrian gear.
PVC is:
Durable – Withstands daily use, knocks, and bumps in training or competition.
Weather-resistant – Handles sun, rain, and mud without fading or breaking down.
Easy to clean – Just wipe it down and it’s ready for the next round.
Lightweight – Easy to lift, move, and set up around your arena.
Customisable – Comes in a wide range of colours to suit your style or team colours.
We use PVC because it’s strong, reliable, and made to last — just like the riders and horses we create for.
