Controversy....
Rollkur/Hyperflexion
Drug testing - especially for hypersensitivity
Training of Tenessee Walking Horses
Training of (some) Western horses
Rapping (less topical nowadays)
Eating horses - very topical!!!
How many more would you like!!

Facts about horseriding...
Google is your friend
The BHS website will have a few bits and pieces such as how many horses (approximately) in Britain, how many riders, how many riding schools.
Try The Pony Club website too.

This article features both controversy and is to do with the dangers of horse riding

I would do a good bit on the horse burgers thing- it'll amuse any annoying teenage boys!
