Home - Potter Steel Service

Potter Steel Service, LLC has been making jump cups since the early 1960’s when the Dartmouth Rotary Club was putting on horse shows as a fundraiser and need some quality jump cups.

Mr. Elmer Potter made some in his fabricating shop for these horse shows. When word got around about the quality of them, he started selling jump cups all over the country. In 1987, Maurice and Ann took over the business continuing to improve on production and update to keep up with the changes in the industry. We became the first in the USA to get a Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI) approval on breakaway jump cups.

We sell plastic keyhole jump cups made of a super tough nylon material. They come in 3 different depth sizes.; 1.5” (38mm), 1” (25mm), or ¾” (20mm).

We offer Keyhole tracks (keyhole channels) these are made of high quality G-90 galvanized steel that have a smooth consistent finish for a lifetime of use.

Also FEI approved breakaway (safety) jump cups in these 2 styles; keyhole and pin style with 3 different depths: 1.5” (38mm) for hunter 1” (25mm)for eventing or ¾” (20mm) for jumpers.
