A couple of weeks ago, Ann and George headed down to London to meet with the BHA (British Horseracing Authority) to argue the case of the 'stalls rein'. The below video was filmed by us at Mick Easterby's last September and highlights the extremely useful bit of kit that he designed to stop horses ducking beneath the gates. The gadget used to be allowed on the racecourse, but now horses are no longer allowed to come under starters orders wearing a 'stalls rein' but are allowed to wear them for a stalls test.
For now, we would just like to share the video so that everyone can see the incredible safety benefits. Further information will follow.
