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. Please come and take a look. Dan Starck is at Inavale and will be happy to answer any questions about the jump construction and how the MIM system works. Don’t hesitate to find him.
