📝Battle of the Barns - Challenge Your Equestrian Knowledge
As the use of chest protection becomes more commonplace in the Hunter/Jumper disciplines, it is increasingly important that equestrian-specific research and testing be developed to determine a standard from which equestrian air vests can be evaluated. Join us for an interactive discussion with USHJA Safety Committee chair Joe Dotoli and Virginia Tech’s Dr. Duma and Dr. Miller to examine air vest use in equestrian sport, the need for research and development of an equestrian-specific standard, and how USHJA, along with Virginia Tech, aims to continue advancing safety within the sport.
