Säker Ridsport: Preventing, Responding to and Managing Injuries

Equestrian sport is one of Sweden's most popular leisure activities, engaging hundreds of thousands of people every year, from children and young people to adults. The horse's role as a partner and source of power in the sport is irreplaceable, but riding also carries risks that call for knowledge and a safety mindset.

This book is a practical, informative guide for riding schools and riders who want to prioritise safety and wellbeing in the sport. It provides clear guidance on first aid, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), the L-ABCDE method, managing acute illness and accidents, and understanding concussions and their consequences.

With a focus on reducing the risk of injury and increasing safety for both riders and horses, the book offers important tools for building a safer future in equestrian sport. At the same time, it celebrates the bond between human and horse – a relationship built on trust, respect and cooperation. This is a book for everyone who loves equestrian sport and wants to help it develop safely.
