Harness Racing Australia (HRA) has added the Finn Tack FT Pro Trotting Helmet Model 30216 (Carbon Fibre) to the list of approved helmets for use in Harness Racing and Training activities. This is effective from 9 December, 2011.
As part of the HRA approval process the helmets have been examined by Human Impact Engineering.
The helmets will be available through retailers who stock Finn Tack products or you can view the range at www.finntack.com
HRA takes the process of testing of new products very seriously as it impacts on the health and safety of all participants as well as the welfare of the racing horses.
HRA will continue to work with all manufacturers and distributors of gear and equipment to ensure that all new products meet the standards as set out by the industry.
