Does anyone have an efficient way of storing jump poles in your outdoor ring, other than laying around the perimeter?
We have one of those, but it is on wheels and really easy to pull around. It is the best! But, I think they are very expensive (my BO owns a tent rental company so I think they had it there).

I’ve seen these kinds of racks used quite a bit.[/QUOTE]
Two wide sturdy sawhorses keep them off the ground. Alternatively, use one sawhorse or set up vertical and lean all the rest of the poles diagonally across it from either side. Keeps them dry for longer life.
I had a boarder build me L-shaped brackets to hold the poles and mounted on the outside of the arena fence. They were great, until my horses used them as butt scratchers all winter (the arena sits in the pasture, so the horses can access the poles/brackets). So they knocked 3 of them off. But I will get them back up!
Sort of like this, but mounted on two fence posts; each bracket could hold 2-3 poles.

Each pair holds 9 poles or more if you double stack them.
