Solid fences are jumps that consist of boards, walls, roll tops and other solid implements that are placed either by themselves between standards or below regular jumping rails. Some horses become confused when they are asked to jump solid fences, so you'll have to train the horse to know what he is supposed to do.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Stationary Airport Facilities
CONT

Lowered fences deflect the blast through their full height and therefore are subjected to lower wind forces than a solid fence for the same blast conditions.

  • Installations fixes d'aéroport
CONT

Les écrans à fentes détournent le souffle sur toute leur hauteur et les forces de vent qui s'exercent sont donc moins grandes que celles qui frappent un écran plein dans les mêmes conditions de souffle.
