Roger Haller (US) said reducing the speeds inwards CICs was non a positive move, equally horses together with riders would gain to a greater extent than from operating at the same speed that they would bring to adopt at CCIs. This was countered past times Gillian Rolton, who stated that slower speeds give riders to a greater extent than fourth dimension to receive their horses for fences then accidents are reduced together with horses are allowed to gallop inwards a amend rhythm. “A lot of the riders are real much inwards back upward of the changes”, she said.
