“To just be handing these 11 penalties out on good horses that have done a very safe, correct job, it’s not cross country anymore.” World Number One Oliver Townend has his say on frangible pins at Bicton 5 Star
“The correct frangible devices, used and fitted correctly, will make a big impact on the sport” MIMclip technology will be used at all levels of FEI eventing competition (CCI1*-CCI5*) from January 2021
Frangible devices to be mandatory in Australian national and international level eventing competition from February 2018
