  • Profiling Fallers in National Eventing Competition

    Profiling Fallers in National Eventing Competition

    Proceeding 6th ISPAS International Workshop, 22-23 March 2016. International Society of Performance Analysis of Sport. Carlow, Ireland Profiling fallers in national eventing competition KAREN D. HENNESSY 1 Institute of Technology Carlow, Carlow, Ireland ABSTRACT Numerous fatalities have occurred in the sport of evening over the last number of years. An increased risk of falling has been reported based on fence design (Murray et al., 2004b, Murray et al. 2005, Stachurska et al., 2010), rider knowledge of leading the competition and their perception of pace prior to the fall (Murray et al., 2004b). No research to date has considered the competition profile of the horse, the rider and the horse & rider partnership. The aim of this research was to explore the competition profile of all cross-country falls in Eventing Ireland (EI) competitions in the 2011 to 2014 seasons, by analysing the number of cross country starters, number of fallers, competition level, type-of-fall (rider fall/ horse fall). Competition profile variables analysed included: upgrading horse, upgrading rider, new partnership, new season, cross-country penalties prior to fall, cross country profile of horse. There were 27,176 cross-country starts and 643 falls recorded in the timeframe (1 fall per every 42 starters). There was variation in the frequency and type of falls across competition levels, with a higher instance of rider falls in Junior (2.0%) and Amateur (1.8%) level competition and a higher instance of horse falls in CNC2 (0.9%) level competition. Of all falls, 40% involved an upgrading horse, 24% involved an upgrading rider, 36% involved a new partnership and 51% were starting a new competitive season.

ABSTRACT OF THESIS ENGINEERING SPORT SAFETY: A STUDY OF EQUESTRIAN CROSS COUNTRY EVENTING The sport of equestrian cross country eventing has seen many serious and even fatal injuries due to rotational horse falls in recent years. The sport originally consisted of horse and rider teams jumping stationary, wood fences. However, in a move towards increasing safety for horses and riders, frangible and deformable safety devices have been emerging in the field. This thesis provides an overview of safety designs that are currently available and those that are on the horizon. Also, a path-finder method of evaluating and developing safety fence designs was outlined and applied to two distinct designs, a hinged gate and a collapsible table fence. A full size prototype of the hinged gate was constructed and tested in the field in two different locations.
