A horse riding accident injury refers to any injury sustained while riding a horse. A "horse riding accident injury claim" can be made against the owner of the horse or the person responsible for the horse, if it can be proven that the injury was caused by their negligence.

Horse riding can be a highly enjoyable and satisfying sport. However, it does not come without risk, when things go wrong the injuries sustained can be life changing. Whether you have fallen off a horse or sustained an injury while working the horses, it might be possible to make a claim if your injuries were due to someone else's negligence.

As with any animal, horses can be unpredictable, however, whether you are working with horses or enjoying a horse ride, you have the right to be kept safe by those who are responsible for your wellbeing. Many common horse riding injuries occur due to the following circ*mstances:

• Road traffic accidents

• While working with horses - this applies to both those working with them in paid employment and those helping on a voluntary basis

• At competitions - whether you are a competitor or a spectator

• While out riding with a riding school, pony club or other horse riding establishments

• Being kicked or bitten
