Most of my best hurdles came from farm dispersal sales and similar,they are the old heavy type.

you can NEVER have too many (another tread here .... uses for hurdles  :thinking:)

Don't wrestle with pigs, they will love it and you will just get all muddy.

Let go of who you are and become who you are meant to be.

Most hurdles will have the bars more narrowly spaced at the bottom, so as to stop lambs - provided you use them the right way up ;)

The downside of the mesh is it stops you putting your foot on the bottom run to climb over ;)

ooh you can never have too many hurdles!  Use mine for sheep, jerseys, horses, everything.  Mine were all given to me very second hand from next door farmer.  I was in molevalley stores the other day and found myself stroking the shiney new hurdles which i could never afford, turned round and had 3 people staring at me like the men in white coats were on their way!!

I saw some going relatively cheap on Preloved whilst browsing if that's of any use? Don't know what second-hand would be like for you personally, or whether they would be a disease risk?! (surely a rinse with disinfectant would get rid of that issue?)
