How many race horses get killed each year?

Answer 1

Data from the Journal of Trauma 1997 July states that thirty million Americans ride horses and 50,000 are treated in Emergency Departments annually. Using data from July 1992 - January 1996 as typical 60% of these events were caused by "ejection or fall from horse"

Of these:

• 60% patients were male
• 37% were professional riders
• 80% had head injuries
• 30% had spinal injuries
• 17% of the patients died

Answer 2

It is estimated that about 20 people die a year due to horseback riding. Hope this helps :)
I don't know how many have actually died, but I do know that between 1997 and 2008, 37 people have died during the cross country phase in an event.
From what i have heard on fact sites, about 20 people die a year from horseback riding, making it one of the most dangerous sports in the world

Answer 3

I read that as much as 50% of horses in the U.S. are regularly sick...some mildly and many more very sick. Is there data on which sicknesses horses are likely to get? What is the most effective cure for a sick horse.?

Answer 4

There is no hard answer for this. The amount of horses that get sick yearly will depend on many factors and is not a steady number from year to year.

Answer 5

that's hard to answer. if ppl are careful and don't do stuff to horses that they shouldn't, they will be fine.

There is no set number of deaths per year due to the fact that deaths by horse accidents are unpredictable.
