Do you ride? Or, have friends or family who do?…..
If you enjoy being around and riding horses at any level; we NEED YOUR SUPPORT NOW. Without donations we cannot continue helping injured riders in need AND one day it could be you. Please donate your £1 now.
Your feedback is needed…
The MDIRF would like to start a forum/blog page attached to our website but to do this we need to know that injured riders would like to talk to each other about their injuries and the situations they find themselves in and whether you think this would be a good and useful way to help.
If you have been injured and feel that it would be a positive thing to be able to talk to others either via a forum or in a more confidential way by phone please can you email Rosemary on rosemary@mdirf.co.uk with your thoughts and ideas as well as your contact details if you are prepared to speak to others in a similar situation.
We want to move this idea on but need your support to make it work we look forward to hearing from you soon.
Horses – The Danger…
Did you know that you are 20 times more likely to have an accident on a horse than on a motorbike?
There are an average of two people a month left paralysed from a horse fall and many others are left permanently disabled through severe head injuries and there are just as many dangers to be faced whilst handling horses from the ground too.
Horselovers need to stick together…
Every one of us who is lucky enough to remain injury-free would acknowledge that it could all too easily be ‘us’ next time. And, that is why all those who ride and look after horses need to ’stick’ together and support The Mark Davies Injured Riders Fund which helps those who have been less fortunate. It is the only charity in the UK which helps ALL injured riders from leisure riders to competition riders across ALL disciplines and at any level.
Many people from all walks of life have family members, children or know someone who rides so please support this worthwhile equestrian cause. Your support is always appreciated whether it be through attending or sponsoring any of our charity equestrian events, making donations or buying our charity Christmas cards.
