Horse riding is more likely to send you to the hospital than skiing or driving a race car, a study has claimed.
Researchers in Texas studied data on injuries from the National Trauma Data Bank from 2007 to 2016.
Overall, more than 45,000 horse riding injuries which saw patients require hospital treatment were recorded in the dataset.
This was more than for American football, skiing and race car driving when adjusted for hours spent on the sport — but the authors did not say by how much.
