In an endeavour to improve safety for cross country riders,
Kraiburg is trialling a 'safe take off zone' rubber brick system.
The first trial is successfully underway. In 2001 Kraiburg installed
rubber bricks in the take off zone of a cross-country fence at
Aston le Walls. The trial was conducted to assess the potential
of the bricks to provide a consistent, safe take off area for
horse and rider. The rubber bricks were installed on a popular
fence on the cross country course. Nigel Taylor of Aston Le Walls
has confirmed that to date the take off zone performs very well
in all weather conditions. He is very impressed with the result.
