Horror Statistics:   “the most frequent cause of
multiple injuries in sport of any description is horse riding”[1]

 

700 brain injuries[2] and 20 horse related deaths[3] occur in my own country, Australia, every year.   Riders are 3 times more at risk of injury than motorcycle racers, and six times more at risk than race car drivers[4] - and think of the training you get before you're allowed to be a race car driver - and the protective equipment a race car driver has!

The statistics in the USA are simply frightening:[5]

bullet

dismounted injuries are usually more serious than mounted injuries

bullet

head injuries are the most common cause for admission to hospital and death

bullet

the most frequent cause of death is head injury

bullet

one in five horse related injuries occur on the ground before the horse has been mounted
