Horse Riding Accidents

Horse riding is a dangerous sport; but that doesn't mean all accidents are the fault of the rider for choosing to participate in such an activity. Riders should be able to rely on a safe environment when they have made a choice to obtain instruction or guidance from a qualified instructor.

Unfortunately, the horse industry has been slow to implement regulated standards for providing horse back riding instruction. Licensing requirements are minimal, or non-existent. This means that riders need to seek out facilities where they feel safety is a priority and that proper precautions are being taken.

Some less experienced riders may not know what to look for, and can get hurt, sometimes devastatingly, while trusting the facility provider to ensure a safe environment.

We rely on top horse industry experts to provide their opinion as to whether an accident should have been avoided; and to spell out the standard of care for providing horse instruction, sheltering or recreational services.

Our lawyers have experience with horse-related accidents and injuries. We can provide a free consultation in which your case can be assessed and we can advise whether you have a potential claim for recovery. 

It is important to find out if you might have a path to financial recovery, as severe injuries can leave far-reaching and life long consequences. We are here to help you improve your situation after a horse-related accident as much as we can. 

It is also important to hold providers accountable so that standards are upheld across the board. This is especially the case when children are involved and when the activity is inherently dangerous.  

As horse lovers, our equestrian-knowledgable lawyers are compassionate and understanding when it comes to this activity and the unfortunate injuries that might occur.
