Equestrian injuries are common, especially among young women who fall. Many riders experience repeat accidents, leading to significant work absence and chronic disability, highlighting the need for injury prevention.

Area of Science:

  • Traumatology
  • Sports Medicine
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Equestrian activities carry inherent risks of injury.
  • Understanding injury patterns and consequences is crucial for prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine patterns, consequences, and recidivism rates of equestrian injuries.
  • To assess the economic impact and long-term disability associated with these injuries.

Main Methods:

  • A 3-year retrospective chart survey and questionnaire of equestrian-injured patients.
  • Follow-up telephone surveys were conducted to assess recidivism and disability.

Main Results:

  • Most injured riders were young women (mean age 27) sustaining falls, with orthopedic injuries being most common (47%).

  • Helmet use was low (34%), and 36% of patients experienced recurrent accidents.
  • Significant costs were incurred, with a mean annual hospital charge of $88,925.00, and 19% reported chronic disability.

    • Conclusions:

    • Recidivism in equestrian trauma is frequent, with substantial economic and personal costs.
    • The high incidence of injury, disability, and repeat accidents underscores the need for enhanced injury prevention strategies in equestrian sports.
