Towing the equine line: Stuntman on skateboard pulled by horse on in latest extreme sport craze
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
Horse play: Daniel Fowler-Prime shows of his adrenaline sport, horse boarding, which is rapidly taking off
Thrill seekers are competing in Britain's latest extreme sports craze of 'horse boarding' - where participants are towed behind a horse at 35mph on an off-road skateboard.
Professional stuntman Daniel Fowler-Prime, 31, invented the sport five years ago after he strung a rope between his off-road 'mountain board' and a horse.
Now he has developed the daredevil stunt into a fully fledged sport and is looking forward to hosting the UK's first ever horse boarding championships this summer.
Popular: The sport, invented five years ago, relies on the relationship and clear communication between the horse rider and the boarder
Adrenaline junkies stand on a mountain board while gripping a rope and attempt to maintain their balance as the horse is spurred into a gallop by its rider.
The rush of acceleration provides the greatest thrill, with riders reaching speeds of 35 miles per hour in just five horse strides.
Mr Fowler-Prime, who grew up in Bude, Cornwall, revealed that he came up with the idea while messing around on a farm with friends.
And, with the sport gaining more popularity, he has now opened the National Horse Boarding Training Centre in Seisdon, near Wolverhampton.
Horsing around: Daniel Fowler-Prime, 31, plans to organise the National Horse Boarding Championships this summer
He said: 'This is a fast, adrenalin-fuelled equine team sport and it is growing rapidly.
'There's a raw surge of natural power you wouldn't get from any other sport, and the acceleration is explosive.
'A lot of skill is involved and the horse rider and boarder have to work together because if they don't the boarder goes flying.
'We have people from all over the country coming to the training ground to try it. It's very accessible for people of all abilities, you only need a bit of space and a lot of guts.
'But you have to be prepared to take a few knocks because falling off has been compared by one board rider to getting out of a car at 30mph.'
