Never Hunt for a Lost Jump Pin Again
You're mid-school, your horse is perfectly focused, and then a pin disappears into the arena sand. The Easy-Up® Pinless Track ends that ritual permanently — height adjustments in one hand, in seconds, without stopping your ride.
The Problem
The Tiny Pin That Derails Every Jump School
It's a Tuesday evening and the arena light is fading fast. You've spent twenty minutes warming up, your horse is finally moving off your leg the way you've been training for weeks, and you're ready to raise the fence. You reach for the cup, pull the pin — and it slips from your fingers. You watch it tumble and vanish into the sand or the grass just beyond the standard. Five minutes of searching later, the moment is gone.
Every serious rider knows this scenario. Whether you're schooling at home, setting a grid before a lesson, or adjusting courses between riders at a barn show, jump pins are the single smallest piece of equipment that causes the most disruption. They're easy to drop, nearly impossible to find in deep arena footing, and maddeningly inconsistent in sizing — a pin that fits one brand of standard may wobble loosely in another's holes.
Trainers feel this pain acutely. When you're coaching multiple students through a gymnastics line or running a small schooling show, every minute spent on your hands and knees looking for a pin is a minute your horse is standing still cooling down, a minute another student is waiting, a minute you're not teaching. The pin tax — accumulated across an entire season — represents hours of lost productive training time.
The issue isn't carelessness. It isn't that riders and trainers are disorganized. The problem is that the traditional pin-and-hole system was designed decades ago for a different era of horse sport, and it hasn't fundamentally changed. The pin that worked fine for a leisure hack over low crossrails becomes a genuine liability in a serious training program where course heights change five times in a single session.

Why It Keeps Happening
Why Traditional Jump Standards Keep Failing Serious Trainers
The traditional jump standard hasn't changed much in decades. A vertical post, a row of drilled holes, and a metal cup held in place by a small pin. That simplicity is exactly the problem. Holes wear with use. Pins come in slightly different diameters depending on who made the standard. And the whole assembly depends on a part small enough to lose in a jacket pocket, let alone arena footing.
Most of us have a workaround. A pin bucket hanging off each standard. A length of baling twine threaded through the spares so they can't fall one at a time. Bright tape wrapped around each pin to make it findable. These are accommodations, not fixes — the bucket gets knocked over, the string tangles, the tape wears off.
And every adjustment is a two-handed job: hold the rail, hold the cup, fish for the pin — usually while your horse stands and waits.
The part that stings is how normal all of it feels. The pin hunt, the wobbling cup, the awkward juggle — riders treat it as part of the discipline rather than a design problem waiting for a better answer.

The Solution
One Track. No Pins. Every Height. One Hand.
The Easy-Up® Pinless Track takes the pin out of the equation. Each track is 20 inches tall, made from ABS plastic, and assembles onto any regular wooden or PVC standard you already own — no new standards, no specialty hardware.
The matching Easy-Up® Pinless Track Jump Cups, sold separately, slide down into place on the track. To move one, you lift the cup and slide it into another position — a one-handed motion you can make without putting the rail down. To take it off, lift it straight up. There's no pin to drop and no hole to line up.
The effect on a schooling session shows up right away. Height changes happen mid-conversation, without breaking the coaching rhythm, and gymnastic exercises where rails go up and down repeatedly stop eating the last half hour of arena light.
Tracks are sold individually, and two 20-inch tracks cover one full standard. Because they mount to the standards you already have, you're upgrading equipment instead of replacing it. Schneiders has been sourcing and standing behind barn equipment like this since 1948.

ABS Plastic Built to Outlast the Arena Season
The Easy-Up® Pinless Track is injection-molded from ABS plastic — a material chosen for its dimensional stability, impact resistance, and ability to hold tight tolerances through temperature changes and repeated use.

Each unit is sold individually and designed to pair with a second track for complete standard coverage, making it a modular system you can expand as your course setup grows.
