| Equine Guelph has recently partnered with SaddleUp SAFELY... |
|
| a coalition of 30 plus medical and horse-related organizations led by University of Kentucky HealthCare and UK College of Agriculture Equine Initiative, embarking on a 5-year campaign to raise awareness and educate the horse riding community about safety. |
 |
|
| Horse riding and handling injuries are more common than most people think. A 2010 survey of Kentucky horse riders showed that 30% had been injured while riding or handling a horse in the past three years.
To date, the SaddleUp SAFELY website contains over 180 safety tips from injured riders and is looking to add to the list! |
|
You are invited to share your horse riding safety tips and will have an opportunity to win prizes including 4 tickets to the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in September of this year. |
If you are heading down to the Games in Kentucky this fall, be sure to visit Equine Guelph’s EquiMania! youth education display. EquiMania! has been invited to be the anchor display in the Kids Zone during the prestigious 16-day event. |
