Horseback riding results in more serious injuries and fatalities than many other high-impact or extreme activities. This video series from The Sports Institute at UW Medicine gives riders, bystanders, show officials, volunteers, and EMS personnel a practical guide to responding when a rider goes down.

The modules cover everything from a bystander calling 911 on a remote trail to EMS performing technical rescues at water jumps, ditch jumps, and competition arenas. Until now, this information has not existed in a cohesive way.

Whether you compete, volunteer, or simply spend time around horses, this series has something for you.

Led by Dr. Cindy Lin, a sports medicine physician and equestrian, the series was produced in partnership with the US Eventing Association and Seattle Fire Department Medic One.
