Utah State University is conducting a survey of injury rates in
equestrian activities. As a part of the Nationwide Extension system, the University
of Maryland hopes that you will take the time to participate in this
survey. YOU MUST BE 18 YEARS OR OLDER TO PARTICIPATE. They would like to evaluate if there are some very typical
injuries associated with horse activities. If you complete the survey please be as complete as possible about your injuries
on question 17. There is also additional space at the end of that question if you had multiple injuries to the same
area. They would really appreciate your help in gathering this information.
This survey is anonymous and
information will be used as group information.

when involved in horse activities, which activities are more prone to injuries and possible ways to avoid injury. If
you have any questions you may contact Pat Evans at (435) 797-2142.
