INFORMATION ABOUT THE POST & RAIL NARROW KIT
The Post & Rail Narrow Kit has been designed and
developed specifically to greatly reduce the risk of rotational
falls. The most important element of this kit is that it will not
break the fence or risk injury to the horse if hit vertically.
The rail is only released when impacted horizontally by the
horse. The risk of a resulting rotational fall is thus reduced.
It is essential to follow the recommended dimensions on the fence for the correct function. If the recommended
procedure is not correctly followed it may cause the failure of the device.
For your own safety and that of others please note the following step by step advice for correct preparation and
installation. It is important that you follow your own health and safety requirements when constructing this kit.
Ensure that you have all parts of the Post & Rail Narrow Kit.
Be aware of the risk of injury when handling heavy rails, posts and the tools for mounting.
