The Inavale Horse Trials have embraced the latest frangible/deformable technology and included a new gate fence that utilizes the MIM New Era safety system. The new obstacle will be fence number 18 on the Preliminary course running this Saturday (pictured right). The hardware was provided by Mats Bjornetun on a previous trip to the States to aid in the education of the use of his safety system.

Many people are wondering, "What is the new rule for frangible fences and how will it affect me?" We are all looking for ways to make our sport safer and this is a way the USEF and USEA are moving toward safer competitions.
