On average 200 people every year (United States) are injured in horse-related mishaps. One third of these are fatal. There is no doubt the equestrian activities can be dangerous. But the risks can be reduced by using common sense and protective riding gear.

What are the risks in horse riding?
Horses can easily kill you but, as a horse back rider, the pleasure of riding a horse is worth the risk. There are trained horses all around that people can safely ride but, just because they're trained doesn't mean they can't hurt you. Horses are amazing animals and don't let the risk of death bother you if you are interested then you should go for it.

What is more dangerous riding a horse or riding in a helicopter?
considering that in horseback riding you are sitting on a 1600 pound animal with a mind of its own, im thinking compared to boxing, horseback riding is far more dangerous. im not sure what the statistics are for boxing but in horseback riding, over 100,000 people are mildly to seriously injured a year and over 20 die a year from it. I hope this answers your question :) But then again, horses don't intentionally try to hurt you. In boxing, the entire point of it is to hurt the competitor.

What to do when horse rares up?
I'm guessing you meant 'rearing' ? if you are riding lean forward and talk to the horse calmly! dont scream as this could make it bolt. Try to make the horse walk on. DO NOT tell the horse off! it was proberly scared of something. If the horse does this repeatedly I would suggest getting its teeth, back and saddle checked. Also check your riding as you could be the one making it rear!If you are leading the horse get out of the way!! try to keep hold of the lead rope but not to hurt youself! Walk the horse on confidently and praise him! Again the horse may of been scared of something of his back may hurt. :)Blue's Answer:I agree to this but you need to make sure the horse knows its okay and relax if your riding. Also if you don't take charge of the horse right away the horse might start rearing everytime you get on. You really need to take charge and if the horse tries it again don't let him, make him turn in a circle. Hope this helps!Blue
