Do you ride? Or, have friends or family who do?…..If you enjoy being around – or have friends or family who love being around – and riding horses at any level then this site is for you.
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.
We’re here to help…
If you have been involved in any horse related accident – or know someone who has – and for whatever reason you (or they) are finding it hard to cope, then please do contact us. Our wide ranging advice and moral, practical or financial support has proved itself to be a lifeline for injured horse riders and handlers across Britain.
