A yard replaces a knocked cup, buys one that looks identical, and finds the new one sits higher on the standard than the one it replaced. The jump leans. The pole rolls at the touch.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 28px;\">Fit is a measurement problem, not a catalog problem. Cups have to match the standard&#8217;s hole pitch and the pole&#8217;s diameter; pins have to match the hole they pass through and the load they hold. This site publishes none of those dimensions for its FEI-standard jump lines, so the numbers have to come off your own equipment and go onto the order in writing.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9; border-left: 4px solid #1a5f2a; padding: 20px 24px; border-radius: 4px; margin-bottom: 28px;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 10px 0; font-weight: 700;\">Key Takeaways<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A spare cup is specified against the standard it fits, not against the jump you saw at a show \u2014 hole pattern first, pole diameter second, material third. This is fitment and sourcing, not safety inspection.<\/li>\n<li>Hole pitch \u2014 the vertical spacing of the cup positions up the post \u2014 is what makes a replacement set interchangeable. It is not a published figure here; measure it and put it on the order.<\/li>\n<li>Pins usually fail through wear and tolerance rather than one dramatic break. A slightly small pin in a worn hole can let the pole lift under a hoof, and nobody notices until a rail drops in a competition round.<\/li>\n<li>Buy the cup and pin set by the standard you own. Mixing suppliers across one post is where interchangeability tends to break down.<\/li>\n<li>Spare hardware has no published ordering floor on this site, unlike the fence line&#8217;s 50 panels, so state the quantity you need and ask what the actual minimum is.<\/li>\n<li>Production runs 4-6 weeks globally; expedited orders from Sydney or Warsaw regional stock can run 1-2 weeks where the item is held. That gap is long enough for a broken cup to cost a training week.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n<nav style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 4px; padding: 20px 24px; margin-bottom: 28px;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 10px 0; font-weight: 700;\">In this guide<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#fitment\">Why This Is a Fitment Problem<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#measurements\">The Four Measurements That Decide a Fit<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#pins\">Pins: Wear, Tolerance and Quiet Failures<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#ordering\">Ordering Spares Without a Specification Sheet<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#frequently-asked-questions\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#conclusion\">Conclusion<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/nav>\n\n<h2 id=\"fitment\" style=\"margin-top: 50px; margin-bottom: 30px; font-size: 28px; border-bottom: 2px solid #eee; padding-bottom: 10px; font-weight: bold;\">Why This Is a Fitment Problem<\/h2>\n\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 28px;\">On most standards the cup locates in a row of holes, and the depth behind each hole is what a spare has to match. Two cups from different suppliers can share the same diameter and still sit at different heights on the same post, because what matters is how the cup locates \u2014 commonly a pin through the post, a stop collar and a pole shoulder, but designs vary, so confirm which your posts use.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 28px;\">Wings and decorative panels make it worse. A wing clamps or bolts to the standard and changes what a cup can reach; a panel that sits proud of the post can block part of the hole line. When you order spares for a winged setup, order for that setup \u2014 the wing&#8217;s fix method and the standard&#8217;s hole line get named in the same message. Safety inspection of cups in use is a different job, and our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/dbhorsestable.com\/en\/fei-jump-cups-safety\/\">FEI jump cup safety<\/a> covers it; this piece covers sourcing.<\/p>\n\n<figure style=\"margin: 0 0 28px 0;\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dbhorsestable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Horse-Show-Jumps-11-2.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-25982382\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Three red, white and green striped poles resting in cup holders on white jump standards with cross-shaped bases, on a grass training field with trees and a blue sky behind\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dbhorsestable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Horse-Show-Jumps-11-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/dbhorsestable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Horse-Show-Jumps-11-2-480x480.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 800px, 100vw\" \/>\n<figcaption style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #666; margin-top: 8px;\">The cup, the hole line and the pole diameter have to agree with each other before the paint scheme matters.<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<h2 id=\"measurements\" style=\"margin-top: 50px; margin-bottom: 30px; font-size: 28px; border-bottom: 2px solid #eee; padding-bottom: 10px; font-weight: bold;\">The Four Measurements That Decide a Fit<\/h2>\n\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 28px;\">Take a tape and a caliper to one standard you already own and write four numbers down.

Cup bodies crack visibly; pins can fail quietly, as a little play that grows each season. An undersized pin can let the cup rock and shift load onto the pole edge instead of the cradle, so rails that should have held start dropping. An oversized pin can score the inside of the hole, and then the next one rattles too.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 28px;\">Material and coating are the second and third questions, and they tie to how spares age. Where steel hardware is hot-dip galvanized, this site&#8217;s published figure is 20 years of rust protection; that is a coating claim about the steel, not a wear rating for a pin that moves in a hole every day. Ask which parts are galvanized, which are plated, and which are bare, in writing.<\/p>\n\n<figure style=\"margin: 0 0 28px 0;\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dbhorsestable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Horse-Show-Jumps-10-1.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-25981499\" width=\"1121\" height=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"A rider on a bay horse clearing a striped pole jump set between white standards fitted with green diamond panels and red and white flags at the top, over sand with tents and trees behind\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dbhorsestable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Horse-Show-Jumps-10-1.jpg 1121w, https:\/\/dbhorsestable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Horse-Show-Jumps-10-1-980x699.jpg 980w, https:\/\/dbhorsestable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Horse-Show-Jumps-10-1-480x343.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1121px, 100vw\" \/>\n<figcaption style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #666; margin-top: 8px;\">At a competition round, a cup that has climbed a few millimetres reads as a rail that falls.<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 28px;\">Our position: cups and pins are bought per standard, not per jump. Order the set that fits the posts you already own, keep one original cup and one original pin as a pattern sample, and treat any supplier who sells you a &#8220;universal&#8221; cup as someone who has not measured your posts.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"ordering\" style=\"margin-top: 50px; margin-bottom: 30px; font-size: 28px; border-bottom: 2px solid #eee; padding-bottom: 10px; font-weight: bold;\">Ordering Spares Without a Specification Sheet<\/h2>\n\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 28px;\">Many yards have no drawing for their jumps. That is fine. A usable spare-parts enquiry is four measurements, one photograph of the standard with a scale in frame, one photograph of the wing fitting, and the quantity you want \u2014 spares usually bought in sets per post rather than single pieces, because a mid-season replacement that lands at a different height is worse than no replacement.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 28px;\">Then ask three questions and expect written answers. Which existing cup and pin model matches these dimensions? What is the ordering minimum for spare hardware \u2014 none is published for this site&#8217;s jump parts, while the fence line starts at 50 panels, so ask rather than assume? What ships from regional stock, given 4-6 weeks global production and expedited orders running 1-2 weeks from Sydney or Warsaw regional stock where the item is held? Volume discounts of 5%-15% apply to batch orders, so a season&#8217;s worth of spares in one line is usually the better buy than three urgent ones.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 28px;\">Certification sits behind all of this as a factory statement, not a part number: manufacturing runs under ISO 9001 with CE marking. For venues specifying FEI-compliant training equipment, the sourcing standard is the same \u2014 dimensions and written confirmation, not a logo alone. That logic is set out in our piece on <a href=\"https:\/\/dbhorsestable.com\/en\/germany-fei-compliant-training-facilities\/\">FEI-compliant training facilities in Germany<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/dbhorsestable.com\/en\/horse-show-jumps\/\">horse show jumps product page<\/a> is where a spare-parts enquiry lands.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"frequently-asked-questions\" style=\"margin-top: 50px; margin-bottom: 30px; font-size: 28px; border-bottom: 2px solid #eee; padding-bottom: 10px; font-weight: bold;\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"faq-card\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 25px; background-color: #f9f9f9; border-left: 4px solid #1a5f2a; border-radius: 4px;\">\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 15px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 1.3; font-size: 18px;\">Can I buy jump cups by the model name of my standards?<\/h3>\n<div style=\"color: #444;\"><p style=\"line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0;\">Only if the supplier confirms the dimensions behind that name.
