Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This chapter reviews the current evidence for the epidemiology of pediatric equestrian injuries. ...
CONCLUSIONS: While there is little knowledge of injury demographics or the efficacy of prevention countermeasures in this field, it is likely that injuries will continue to occur. The major challenge in reducing pediatric equestrian injuries is the formal scientific demonstration that the various proposed injury prevention measures are effective. With the majority of equestrian injuries happening during unsupervised leisure riding, the prospect of injury prevention is limited."
