Blair Castle Horse Trials



This weekend we went to the Horse Trials at Blair Castle to watch the cross-country section. This must be is the most spectacular and dangerous equestrian sport. Riders wear a protective jacket that inflates in the event of a fall to minimise injuries. Maybe bikers will get this some day. Here is a rider tackling the water complex.

Somewhere I have a jacket that inflates when a cord is pulled, in case you fall overboard, and becomes a life vest. Modern technology...
