Cavaletti blocks are robust training aids for horse training. Cavaletti blocks make it easy to set up obstacles for equestrian sports, which can be used for dressage or show jumping. Obstacle blocks are easy to clean, have various support options and are made of plastic or metal.
A cavaletti block is set up on each side of the obstacle bar, on which the bar is either placed or pushed in. Cavaletti training for horses can be organised in a variety of ways and brings variety to a conventional riding lesson for both the animal and the rider. Alfako offers stable cavaletti blocks with a holder to which the obstacle bar can be attached.
Which Cavaletti blocks are available?
Cavaletti blocks are available in the form of mini cavaletti blocks, combination cavaletti blocks, jumping blocks and pylonettes. Special cavaletti blocks are cavaletti cones and pole blocks. Obstacle blocks are often sold at least in pairs so that you can build at least one obstacle with one delivery.
The following list shows in detail what types of Cavaletti blocks are available.
- Mini Cavaletti Block: A mini cavaletti block is a small obstacle block with 3 support heights. A mini cavaletti block is used to set up small jumps between 20 cm and 60 cm. Jumping blocks are made of plastic or metal.
- Combi Cavaletti Block: A Combi Cavaletti Block is an obstacle block with 5 support heights. With a Combi Cavaletti Block, you can either place the obstacle bar on top or insert it into the integrated hole. The Combi Cavaletti Block is used to set up small jumps between 40 cm and 60 cm.
- Jumping Block: A jumping block is an obstacle block with 6 support heights. A jumping block can be used in a variety of ways, as you can set up individual jumps of up to 83 cm or use it as a triple bar.
- Pylonetti: A pylonetti is a cavaletti block with 3 support heights. A pylonetti is usually cone-shaped, but has several side supports on which poles are placed. Pylonetti can be stacked due to their practical shape.
- Cavaletti cone: A Cavaletti cone has 4 support heights and is stable on the ground thanks to its conical shape. The bars are simply inserted into the various holes in the Cavaletti cones. Cavaletti cones are stackable.
- Bar block: A pole block is a small cavaletti block that ensures that the poles only hover about 15 cm above the ground. Pole blocks are used either for individual obstacles in a row or as a pole cross in the centre of the arena.
What are the dimensions of Cavaletti blocks?
Mini Cavaletti blocks have average dimensions of 60 x 38 x 22 cm. Combi Cavaletti blocks measure between 40 x 30 x 15 cm and 30 x 45 x 60 cm. Jumping blocks have an average length of 83 cm, a width of 63 cm and a height of 30 cm. The dimensions of Pylonettis are in most cases 30 x 35 x 30 cm.
The average size of Cavaletti cones is 20 x 30 x 40 cm and bar blocks 15 x 35 x 30 cm. Mini Cavaletti Blocks and Combi Cavaletti Blocks can be adjusted to different heights by simply turning them. Turning the cavaletti blocks allows the rider to adjust the height of the cavaletti to suit their needs. Cavaletti poles are attached to the Cavaletti Block either just above the ground or suspended at heights of up to 83 cm above the ground, depending on requirements.
What are the advantages of Cavaletti blocks?
The main advantages of Cavaletti blocks are that they are easy to set up and are hard-wearing and durable. Cavaletti blocks offer several support heights, are UV-resistant, space-saving and make ground work easier.
All the advantages of Cavaletti blocks are presented in detail in the list below.
- Simple structure: Cavaletti blocks are quick and easy to set up as the poles are simply placed in the recesses provided. No additional brackets or tools are required for the obstacle blocks, which saves time and makes training set-up easier.
- Hardwearing: Cavaletti blocks are hard-wearing as they are usually made of robust plastic or sturdy metal. Obstacle blocks stand securely on the ground, do not tip over easily and can withstand kicks or contact from the horse without breaking.
- Durable: Cavaletti blocks are durable as they are made of resistant material and are designed for long-term use. Obstacle blocks retain their shape even with frequent use and are insensitive to moisture, cold or heat.
- Several support heights: Cavaletti blocks have several support heights, which enables versatile and flexible training. With the adjustable heights, the exercises with the Cavaletti can be individually adapted to the level of training and the training goal.
- UV-resistant: Cavaletti blocks are UV-resistant because they do not fade and do not become brittle when exposed to sunlight. The UV resistance of obstacle blocks is particularly important for use in outdoor arenas or pastures.
- Space-saving: Cavaletti blocks are space-saving, as many models are stackable. Obstacle blocks that are stackable require little storage space in the stable or tack room and are easy to transport.
- Facilitate ground work: Cavaletti blocks make ground work, show jumping and lunging easier, as they help to set up obstacles quickly. Cavaletti blocks are suitable for beginner horses as well as for advanced training.
When do you use Cavaletti blocks?
Cavaletti blocks are used for show jumping, lunging with poles or for ground exercises with the horse. Cavaletti blocks are seen as a small obstacle when jumping, as training for the horse's back and gait rhythm when lunging or as variety and balance exercises when dressage riding.
Obstacle blocks are used to support the poles in all three basic gaits of the horse. When cantering, the cavaletti obstacles are placed further apart than when walking or trotting so that the horse can jump over them easily. Depending on the size of the horse, the distance between the cavaletti should be 80 - 90 cm at the walk, 120 - 150 cm at the trot and 300 - 350 cm at the canter.
What materials are Cavaletti blocks made of?
Cavaletti blocks are made of plastic such as polythene or metal such as steel. Plastic blocks are easy to transport and easy to clean, while metal blocks are stable and robust. The installation location and the riders who use the Cavaletti blocks determine the material of the blocks.
Obstacle blocks made of metal are usually square blocks and can be adjusted in height by simply rotating them. Plastic blocks are available in various shapes and colours such as pink, yellow, blue, red and green. Metal cavaletti blocks are somewhat heavier, which is why plastic obstacle blocks are particularly ideal for children.
Lightweight plastic Cavaletti blocks are recommended for young horses that are not yet familiar with Cavaletti work. Cavaletti blocks made of plastic minimise the risk of injury to young horses. Metal obstacle blocks are useful for experienced show jumpers as they are more stable and can withstand high speeds.
