| Sumario: | Show jumping is a popular equestrian sport in Sweden, where the results on shows are affected by the jumping technique of the horse. There are ways to improve the horse’s jumping technique. For example, technical hind limb boots are getting more popular in training and on shows. In 2010, the Swedish Equestrian Federation decided on regulations concerning hind limb boots allowed on young horses up to seven years of age when competing in show jumping. The aim of the rules was to forbid technical hind limb boots on competing youngsters.
The aim of the study was to see how much knowledge there is about the effects of the technical hind limb boots in local 100 cm classes and regional 130 cm classes on shows in Skåne, how many riders that are using them, what kind of riders who are using them the most and also if there is a difference between the numbers of users in 100 cm classes compared to 130 cm classes.
The study was made on four different shows in Skåne. Two classes in 100 cm was compared to two classes in 130 cm. There was made two different studies on every show. One field study was made, where data was collected on how many riders using technical hind limb boots, back boots and no boots. One survey was made, where all the riders who were using technical hind limb boots answered a questionnaire. The results of the study shows that the usage of technical hind limb boots seems to be more common in the 100 cm classes compared to the 130 cm classes, but that the riders in the 130 cm classes are more aware of the impact of the technical hind limb boots than the riders in the 100 cm classes. |
