While the importance of improving horse-related safety seems self-evident, no
comprehensive study into understanding or reducing horse-related risk has been
undertaken. In this paper, we discuss four dimensions of horse-related risk: the
risk itself, the horse, the rider and the culture in which equestrian activities
takes place. We identify how the ways in which risk is constructed in each
dimension affects the applicability of four basic risk management options of
avoidance, transference, mitigation and acceptance. We find the acceptance and
avoidance of horse-related risk is generally high, most likely due to a common
construction of horses as irrevocably unpredictable, fearful and dangerous. The
transference of risk management is also high, especially in the use of protective
technologies such as helmets. Of concern, the strategy least utilised is risk
mitigation. We highlight the potential benefit in developing mitigation
strategies directed at: (a) improving the predictability of horses (to and by
humans), and (b) improving riders' competence in the physical skills that make
them more resilient to injury and falls. We conclude with the presentation of a
multidisciplinary agenda for research that could reduce accident, injury and
death to horse-riders around the world.
