    Summary

    Horse riding can cause severe injuries, with head injuries being a major concern requiring hospitalization. Wearing protective headgear is crucial for rider safety and preventing serious harm.

    Area of Science:

    • Trauma Surgery
    • Sports Medicine
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Horse riding is a popular recreational and competitive activity.
    • Injuries associated with equestrian activities pose a significant public health concern.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the characteristics and severity of horse-related injuries.
    • To identify key risk factors and effective safety measures for horse riders.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of all patients presenting with horse-related injuries to an Accident Service over two years.
    • Data collection included injury type, severity, treatment, and outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • 237 patients presented with horse-related injuries.
    • Injuries were severe, with 22% requiring hospital admission.
    • Head injuries accounted for 50% of all admissions, with seven life-threatening cases identified.
    • Severe pelvic and spinal injuries were also documented.

    Conclusions:

    • Horse-related injuries, though not numerous in absolute terms, are often severe.
    • Head injuries are a primary cause of hospitalization and severe outcomes.
    • Mandatory use of protective headgear is the most critical safety measure to reduce injury severity.
