Re: [RC] Eventing deaths - Quentin & Libby Llop

I've never seen a summary of horse deaths for eventing. I only compared venues that I personally attended. I used to attend about the same # of events as I do rides now and there were a similar number of horses competing. I do remember a discussion of rider deaths in eventing. One year there were seven.

Yes, I understand but what are the overall statistics????
and considering that there are HOW many horse trails going on in this country alone????
So, yes, it stands to reason, statistically, since there are far more events and more rider/horses participating, then you are going to see more of this.
However, this needs to be compared to the whole; otherwise, it's could very well be a skewed result.

    Ironically most of them "dropped dead" on course and the one
    endurance
    ride that I was present when a horse died it was from running
    through a
    solid fence. That said I have seen many many more horses die at
    steeplechase races and some at the flat track.
    I have known more riders that died eventing and the injured rider in
    Florida is one of our locals. Libby
