Riding | Children Health

Horseriding? Horseback rides are a recreational or sports sport activities in which one individual is sitting on the back of a horse or horse - either with or without a bareback. Riders can move the horse (at different speeds), leap or make specific movements (riders).

In order to prevent or decrease the danger of injuries, the horse must be conscious of its power, type and behavior. Riders must also use good judgement and care when dealing with a horse. Though horse backriding can be an exercise for all age groups, it can cause serious injuries to youngsters due to the unforeseeable character of the horse.

What can you do to hurt a child? During a fall from a horse, a child can experience severe brain injury, concussions, spine injury, fracture as well as breast and stomach injury. Infants can get tensile injury (by sudden pulling or jerking, i.e. injury to tender tissues such as dislocated/tensioned collars, elbow/hand joints, etc.).

Infants can suffer wounds, contusions or more serious injury if they are bit, stomped, stepped on or pulled by a horse. What is the frequency of these wounds? Young women are hurt more often when they ride than youngsters. During 2011-12, 601 Australian 5-17 year old women were hospitalized for horseback injury.

The most common injury occurs when a horse is riding3, but can also happen during use, care, feed and other activity such as play near a horse. Only 38% of the kids who were studying at the children's clinic in Westmead between January 1988 and December 1999 were registered as helmet-wear. Most fatalities are due to serious injury to the human being.

Are there any laws or standards for horse back rides in Australia? We recommend that helmet makers for horse backpacking and horse-related activity comply with the Australia Standards (AS/NZS 3838:2006). It is a optional norm that the manufacturer does not have to comply with, but it is advised that you buy a helmet that complies with this one.

A helmet that has been approved to the Australia Standard - to be fitted on every ride - should be changed after a significant collision. Comparable safety certifications according to Horse Safety Australia are the US helmets: The ASTM F 1163 or PAS 015 (2011) and the EN 1384 helmet with a Kitemark photo (see Kitemark photo below).

Keep in mind: Be alert to the possible risks when horse backpacking, driving or just near a horse and make sure that a child is cautious. Make sure your child wears appropriate protective equipment, which includes a standard Australia certified helmet. Make sure that the helmet is worn by the child when near a horse, as kicking can cause serious and sometimes deadly tolling.

Infants should not be able to toy with a horse. Stable shoes should always be carried near a horse to avoid crushing your foot when you step on them. We recommend the use of security stirrup bars for kids and beginners, as they detach from the horse in case of a fall. Stems, calipers and other horse gear should be inspected and serviced on a regular basis.

Adults should always supervise kids while they are on horseback. You should always pick a horse that is appropriate to the rider's ages, abilities, experiences and sizes, as well as a horse that is appropriate for a particular equestrian sport. Use older rides for unexperienced horsemen, as they are often calmer and more reliable.
