National Rules: No Penalties for „breaking“ frangible devices

only penalised by dangerous riding rules if appropriate

3

Rules

4 options for different levels of dangerous riding:

- Eliminitation

- 25 Penalties or

- 10 Penalties (e.g. just the last fence …)

- Watch List

No need for 100% same reaction of device

Encourages innovative thinking and new ideas

Use/ Approval of deformable systems to be

decided by TD, GJ & CD

4

Rules

Guidelines for frangible devices

5

Rules

• Table-fences (more than 0.70m spread): must hold a horse jumping on top of it

• Falling elements must fall down directly and close behind the fence

• Falling elements must land on a 0,40m post • Falling/moving elements must never move into the landing

curve of the horse • The original height of the fence must not be changed• The deformation should not cause any sound (especially in

combinations)• The fence must react in the same way for all competitiors and

must not release too easy• The system should be easy and quick to rebuild (max. 2 mins)

Compulsory „Debriefing“ after Cross Country for OC, TD, CD and Judges

6

Rules

Fall report form: Rider analyses his fall together with the TD an are fillingin the form together if possible

=> Use of as many frangible devices as sensible/ possible at National XC training centers

= > about 40% of Cross country-organisers (with classes1,00m+) used offer andgot MIM systems for free

= > enormous financial assistance by the„Stiftung Deutscher Spitzenpferdesport“ and„Benjamin Winter Fund“

Klengel-System

Klengel System

The table fence version(Haiber version)

8 Iron rings

No cord fixation on backside rotation bar

The table fence version

Release of table fence model

Details of table version

Klengel system release

Klengel system – the advantages

1. impact and release situation depends on the crash angle of thehorse - no reaction of the system when a horse is sliding orbouncing on top of the rotation barr

2. controlled impact at vertical crash situation – different possibilitiesof adjustment

3. easy and fast release when the horse hits the barr from thebottom up (the most dangerous case)

4. wide range of weights and dimensions of the falling fence partspossible ? (has to be tested)

5. Table fences, roof fences, corners, and others possible6. low costs7. fast repair after release
