New NSA Steeplechase fences for 2021

[Flatterer]

The new "EasyFix" fence didn't last very long.

On May 13, 2021, the NSA released the following statement:

"Please be advised that the National Fence hurdles will be used at all NSA sanctioned race meets for the remainder of the Spring Season while the EasyFix fence continues to be evaluated by the Safety Committee, with input from trainers."

So Saratoga will have the traditional National Fence.

Here is the 2021 Summer jump schedule.
