Horse tales

As the UK's leading supplier of impact protection for two-wheelers, Knox has been chosen to supply product in other markets in which safety awareness is growing, particularly winter sports and equestrian.
Kan Teq, who use Knox technology in their revolutionary body protector for horse riders, have recently worked with the University of Ulster Sports Academy on a pioneering study, which is believed to be the first of it’s kind. The aim was to ascertain just how much more comfortable and protective, also how much performance improves, when a rider is wearing a Kan body protector, compared to other equestrian body protectors. Twenty volunteers were recruited to carry out the test, which involved completing a questionnaire before and after exercising and jumping their own horses. The study is ongoing and the results should be published before Christmas, so check back for an update.
One of the many riders who swears by her KAN protector s Hayley J (pictured); she had a horrible fall last year and believes the KAN took the impact and saved her back from injury. This gorgeous photo was taken by Steve Jetley.
