Endless Possibilities.

Built for Stability. Designed for Safety.

Built for a Consistent Setup. Designed to Remain Movable.

Each compact 6" × 6" × 4" PoleRise Core Block cradles common horse-training poles and connects to additional blocks with PoleRise fasteners for progressive elevation. The system is designed to remain aligned during normal pole work while remaining movable rather than functioning as a rigid obstacle if significant contact occurs.

Perfect for:

  • Ground poles
  • Cavaletti work
  • Conditioning
  • Obstcales

Why Choose PETG?

PoleRise blocks are manufactured in-house from PETG, a tough thermoplastic selected for impact resistance, dimensional stability, and dependable performance in normal indoor and outdoor arena conditions.

Unlike large molded blocks or fixed traditional cavaletti ends, PoleRise combines compact geometry with modular stacking, replaceable fasteners, and specialized Core, Dual-Channel, arena, and marker designs.

Every block is printed, inspected, assembled, and fulfilled by PoleRise in Bow, New Hampshire. For maximum finish retention and service life, indoor storage is recommended when the system is not in use.

The PETG Advantage vs. Competition

  • Superior Shock Absorption: Unlike standard plastic that can shatter or crack under stress, PETG is a "ductile" material. It is designed to flex and absorb energy, significantly reducing the risk of injury if a horse strikes a block.
  • Built for the Elements: Our PETG is structurally sound up to 135°F and remains flexible in freezing temperatures where PVC becomes dangerously brittle. Whether in a dusty summer arena or a frozen winter field, your system stays intact.
  • The "Smart" Safety Release: We designed our modular fasteners to provide a firm, stable stack for training, but with a engineered fail-safe. Under an abnormal impact, the blocks are designed to disengage and scatter. This prevents the "trip-wire" effect seen in heavy wooden cavalettis or rigid poly-blocks.

Adjustable Pole Heights

  • 1 Block: 2¾ inches

  • 2 Blocks: 7 inches

  • 3 Blocks: 11¼ inches

  • 4 Blocks: 15½ inches

How do horses see color?

Horses are dichromatic, meaning they primarily see blue and yellow wavelengths. Unlike humans, they have limited ability to distinguish red and green tones.

Because of this, contrast matters more than brightness when it comes to training tools.

Why do we offer blue PoleRise blocks?

Blue is one of the most visible colors to horses.

It stands out clearly against:

• Sand
• Grass
• Indoor arena footing
• Snow

Stronger visibility helps horses better judge pole height and spacing, supporting more confident and accurate cavaletti work.

Does color really make a difference in training?

Clear contrast helps horses assess obstacles more effectively. When a pole setup is visually distinct from the footing, horses can approach with improved depth perception and confidence — especially young or green horses.

Thoughtful design supports better training outcomes.

Why do we also offer red?

While red is less visually distinct to horses than blue, many barns and trainers prefer it for its bold, classic aesthetic.

Red:

• Matches barn colors and branding
• Photographs beautifully
• Offers a strong professional look

We believe training tools should be both functional and visually cohesive within your program.

  • Stable

    Engineered to reduce pole movement and wobble.

  • Durable

    Weather-resistant, arena-tested materials.

  • Stackable

    Simple interlocking system for quick height adjustments.
