Abstract
Professional horse racing is an exciting and demanding sport with high injury rates. Surprisingly few epidemiological studies have been published and no prospective studies have been reported. This paper reviews the literature and provides a detailed breakdown of injuries in Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland for 1992–2000. The introduction of protective equipment is discussed and evidence for its effectiveness put forward.Keywords
