Abstract des Autors

In a two-year study of the estimated 13,428,000 hours of horse activities by 18,408 US Pony Clubs (USPC) members aged 6 to 21 in scheduled supervised programs, there were 64 accidents resulting in 88 injuries in 16 areas of the body. The head/face was the area most often injured (27,27), and bruise/ abrasion was the most common type of injury (28.26). Cross-country riding was the most dangerous event (42.3). Unexpected actions of the horse caused many accidents- 25 occurred when the horse bucked and threw the rider, 23.08 when the horse refused a jump, and 17.31 when the horse fell or slipped. There were only two accidents to the most skilled riders, but riders with five or more years of experience had the highest percentage of accidents. Verf.-Referat
