and of course all these riders will be much safer than riding in an EXO because obviously an airbag will prevent crush injuries when half a ton of horse comes crashing down on you.

As the rider of a very, very small horse, an EXO would simply add too much weight for us to cope with. They'll be a more viable option when they're lighter. I think the airbags are an interesting alternative.

I was shouting that at my telly
Was it because someone went it the start box with her, that she was eliminated, or as soon as they tried to help her outside the box?

I didn't realise that, pleased to see how quickly it inflated, that's got to lessen injuries.
[/ QUOTE ]
I thought that.
However if I were to wear one and have a normal fall, it would make me panic. I have horrible claustraphobia with things like that. My BP alone sets it off sometimes, I start hyperventilating
Better than being squashed I suppose!

Henmeister, the airbag won't stop you getting squashed. no way it can. i think it's got a real value preventing neck and back injuries though.

And for riders that are simply too large for them, as they are only made up to a certain size due to the weight issues.

then you must weight train to be able to wear one or die. that is your option as far as i can see.

Henmeister, it isn't weight issues that mean they're not available in larger sizes, it was cost. if BE had gotten behind them, they'd have raised the money to make moulds the next size up.
i used to worry about the weight of them but not any more. my 1/2 tonne of very fit TB can carry an extra 1/2 a stone, probably without even noticing...

I see about Sharon. well Jasper was quite determined not to start at Burnham but the starter was in a position to wait while she tried reversing etc eventually she led him in but the starter cant do that here sadly. Wicked pony.

To be a little nosey, what is the weight for riding XC at this level. I was under the impression that I would probably have to carry lead to make it.

Because everybody going round Badminton without an EXO is going to die, obviously.
I already do weights routines for my own personal fitness, my point was that my horse should not be expected to carry the extra weight (did I read that it weighed around four stone?!). I already try to keep my weight to a minimum because I am aware that I am a tall rider on a small horse. It's a much more viable option for riders of larger horses and I'm aware that it's my own choice.
Oh, and somebody shoot that bloody dog!
