very similar. Two of these put a horses shoulder width apart works well for an obstacle. The purpose is to have the horse push through them which is easily done although it might not appear to be. The noodles cross each other in front of the horse. The ones I saw had noodles only on one side though. This looks like overkill...and who would pay that anyway!!

Approximately 25 pool noodles: $25
lengths of the 40 PVC pipe: $30
4x4 post with holes drilled in: $15
plus random wood material base: $20 (being very generous)

Doesn't look like it'd take more than an hour or 2 to put together- drilling holes and putting the pvc through the pool noodles being the most time consuming.

I don't know what the heck the purpose would be but I know grey gelding would have a freaking FIELD day playing with it. I fill a soda bottle half with water and put it in his water trough and it keeps him busy for hours so this would be fantastic (I can hear him cooing with excitement) of course with exception to undoubtably inevitable rainbow colored poop reminiscant of a toodler diaper from an afternoon of crayon fun.

Better get it now for the low price of $300 cause I can see Parelli's getting a hold of it, naming a "game" after it and selling it for $1,000.

OOPs I'm sorry did I sat that out loud.

It reminds my of the revolving gates at a zoo, *images of horse whacked by water noodles*

That is more than a little ridiculous. I've ridden through 'pool noodle' screens, where the horse has to push through opposing fingers of noodles, it's a good trust-trick b/c for all the horse knows, it's rigid.

but a 300 DOLLAR tree of noodles?? Like, fo real?
