BEF Concussion Guidelines for Return to Riding

Return to Riding Following a Concussion

How many times have we heard riders say "Oh it was just a concussion!" after being checked out following a fall. We take such good care of our equestrian partners and should extend that same level of care to ourselves. 

This month the British Equestrian federation have brought out new guidelines aimed specifically at horse riders returning to riding after sustaining a concussion. These guidelines have been welcomed with great enthusiasm by the British Equestrian Sport governing bodies and are a step in the right directions for rider health.

While this document contains general medical information, it doesn’t constitute medical advice and should not be relied on as such. This guidance is not a substitute for medical advice from a qualified medical practitioner or healthcare provider.
