Oh and I was wrong, I have 16. Because maths.

Screw/nail some 2" x 4" along the inside of posts, screw some small lengths, long enough for two poles and one on top, several per posts, at an angle.
That should add enough support for the ends of the poles between posts?
Each two posts could hold up to maybe 9 poles easy to remove or hang back up?
Or you could lay short lengths of wood and lay poles on them where they are now, spray for weeds under them?

Check hardware stores for hooks that go over the fence to hang things like bikes.
I use them in my barn to hold harness.
Like these:
My fence isn’t wood, it’s Cenflex, so that won’t work

Help 
I can’t picture this. Brain not braining.
Honestly never thought of this… thank you. This might be where I wind up going. Sigh. Not as nice or tidy as I want though.
Screw a 2x4 to the inside of the post at a 45deg angle upwards. The poles will sit in the V you just made.
Don’t you want the poles where you can easily get them into the arena - ie, by a gate?

a trailer to me is the better solution since to use these poles they have to moved around and I would prefer to haul them then carry them
Harbor Freight has a foldable trailer that when not in use can be stored in a very small footprint… currently on sale for $329, max cap is 1195 pounds, if greater weight is needed they have bigger versions

Yes, obvs!
Agree and I like that one, of course in-store only and not available at my store or any nearby store per the Web site. The next available trailer available is this one??

Right, wood arms 45 or a bit less, enough angle upward that the poles won’t roll off.
Careful putting anything bulky by gates, those can be pinch points, keep a clear area right around there.
This one may be too short a base to still reach the front to move it, poles may stick past it.
How about this longer base one?

Ooops, is same Clanter posted.
Surely you have a Harbor Freight store nearby, so you don’t have to worry with shipping cost?
Consider that anything you make with wood, at today’s single stick prices, may cost you in lumber as much as one of those little utility trailer frames.
@TheJenners, here’s what I would do. Closest to your gates (safely), regardless of the post spacing, I’d get a treated 2x6 long enough to span the OC of the posts. Screw that into the posts, at the same height as your flex rail so that it visually doesn’t look weird. Stain the wood rail to match the flex stuff. You can do both flex rails, both sides of the gate.
Then the world is your oyster on how you want to store the poles. Metal brackets, a wood bracket with a mitered end, etc. The flexrail is no longer the limiting factor.

Yes I do but like I said, in store ONLY and per the Web site none are located “nearby” by whatever algorithm they chose to use.
My solution. I just had my fences painted and moved the pole hangers for that so the pictures are with the holders hanging on a pallet leaning against my barn wall temporarily.
Schneider’'s sells pole racks, called “Easy-Up Pro Series 9 Pole Storage Hangers.” I screwed each of them onto a 2x4 board… On the back top of the board I screwed a hanging bracket to hang the each unit vertically from my top arena fence boards. The hanging brackets came from Lowes and are sold as wheelbarrow and stepladder hangers.
Each pole hanger can be hung anywhere I want along the fence top boards and spaced any distance apart I desire, and can easily be moved with no tools needed. The Schneider’s racks I bought will hold 12 of my jump poles, though they are designed for nine.

My brain is so, so tired. I literally dont understand.
OC span? I never thought my flex rail was a limiting factor but that my post width was?
At this point I think having someone come sink some posts outside and mounting are going to be my best option like @Simkie suggested and the pics @LCDR just posted, but outside my arena for convenience sake. I am just too… whatever. I hoped someone had magic ideas I couldn’t squeeze out of my own brain juice but apparently I’ve been squeezing hard enough 
.
Is it worth calling your local Harbor Freight to see if they can get the cart you want into that store?
The idea of having the holder mobile seems very appealing.

Step 1). Measure where the ideal spot to put the poles is. Measure center to center of your fence posts.
Step 2). Buy treated 2x6 lumber, long enough to span the width that you measured of your posts.
Step 3). Cut the lumber you just bought, so it has minimal overhang.
Step 4). Install the lumber with structural screws/ledgerloks. Line it up with your existing flex rail, for aesthetics.
Step 5). Now you can hang the poles wherever you want on the 2x6. Ideas for brackets have already been posted. LCDRs would work a treat.

I believe Bluey means like this, essentially, but on your fence posts, not a freestanding post.

Those free standing posts would also be neat.

If your nine can hold 12 (four per, assuming?), then do you think the six can hold eight?
