TRIANGULAR HOCKEY TOURNAMENT WIN FOR CLUB OVER NAVY

CAUSE OF NATIONAL HUNT ACCIDENTS

THE CORRECT WAY TO RIDE A HORSE

TATION. HAS PEEN 'INTERTED IN RECENT COMMENTS ON STEEPLECHASE FENCES. AND HIS OPINIONS, WHICH FOLLOW, REVEAL AN EXPERT VIEW OF THE CAUSES OF 50 MANY ACCIDENTS AT THE WINTER SPORT..

I think that the cause of the trouble is not so much height but the actual position of the fences. The chief faults are bad approaches, a fence in a fold in the ground, or on a turn, a bad landing, and the first few fences being too narrow for large fields until they get strung out.

MUCH GRIEF IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT MANY HOLES ARE NOT PROPERLY SCHOOLED. AND THAT THE FENCES ON THE HOME GALLOPS ARE NOT BROAD ENOUGH ΤΟ MAKE HORSES SPREAD THEMSELVES.

Breadth is as important as height: in teaching horses to jump, particu- larly the chaser, who must negoti ate well-built-up regulation fences| which in most cases will not allow horses to take liberties by brushing| through the tops.
