The HORKA back protector offers protection from both the front and back, similar to a standard body protector. There is a standard EN 1621-2 for back protectors. This protector and standard originate from motorsport, as there is currently no European certification for this type of protector in equestrian sports. Motorsport disciplines experience similar impact forces during falls, which is why this type of protection is permitted in horse riding. Various sectors of the equestrian industry aim to manage the same certification in a few years to create clarity in the market. The back protector is increasingly used in equestrian sports as it provides more flexibility and comfort than traditional body protectors. The EVA foam parts are perforated, allowing for better ventilation compared to protectors with solid hard foam blocks.
