Please take just a few minutes to complete the survey at the link below.
It's believed to be the first of its kind to measure the extent and consequences of horse-related injury across the USA, Britain and Australia.
There have been surveys in the past but normally limited to individual countries. Running the survey simultaneously across three countries and gaining comparable data may prove of enormous benefit in improving safety internationally.
Setting up and running surveys is time consuming at the best of times. Going international makes it even more complex. Please do help.

Riders are being urged to add to an international survey to measure the extent and consequences of horse-related injury across the USA, UK and Australia.
The survey was developed by Dr Patricia Evans at Utah State University and has been adapted for international use by Ken Law, editor of British website Riding Safely, and researcher Denzil O'Brien, who has just completed a five-year surveillance programme on the risks in eventing.
The survey is aimed at a wide spectrum of equestrian disciplines and only takes a few minutes to complete.
It runs until February 2009. To take part visit http://eis.ridingsafely.net
